Surprisingly, the Cortech GX Sport jacket I just bought does not seem  
to be much hotter in FL summer temperatures than my full mesh  
Fieldsheer Mach II that I had before.  When moving, the venting does  
a really good job, and when stopped, even a mesh jacket can be pretty  
hot.  The only scenario where the mesh jacket feels better is when  
moving less than 30-40 mph, but when stopped it is hard to tell any  
difference between the two.
