I had a Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh "jacket." Last September I low sided at 45-50MPH. My "jacket tore to shreds, I slid only about 15 feet on asphalt before I hit dirt. I was left with some great road rash on my upper arms, a little on my low back( my back pack held up better than the jacket ), my right glove( also summer weight ) split open at the palm, that was the most painful and deepest rash.
Needless to say, I would not recomend buying any summer weight protection, at least anything containing the poly material they use for mesh! :cuss
It might be a little cooler in the heat, but I would rather sweat than bleed any time.
