The Meshie Summer Jacket

The Meshie. The absolute go to on hot days when you want heaps of airflow!

From the founder of Black Pup Moto, Richard:

I've been working on a lot of different Summer jacket prototypes over the years. The problem that I've been trying to solve is getting a jacket that is BOTH super protective and also has tonnes of airflow. A lot of the summer/breathable jackets on the market tend to do one or the other.

The jacket I personally kept coming back to on hot days was this full mesh prototype so I got to work on refining it and making it better!

The Meshie Jacket combines a super breathable double layer of abrasion resistant mesh and CE2 armour in the Shoulders, Elbows, Back. It also has armour in the Chest!

The mesh material has been doubled up across the jacket providing a huge increase to the abrasion and slide resistance.

Having a double layer of material that is closely stitched together provides a much better level of protection than one equally thick layer as the first layer can act as a sacrificial layer in the event of the impact with the road. It is also has black 1000D Cordura in the shoulders and arms to give the jacket a great two tone look but to also reinforce it in the highest risk areas.

Despite having two layers of material it breathes really well and is now the only jacket I use on scorching days! Materials

- Double layer of abrasion resistant mesh material provides excellent abrasion resistance while also being super breathable. This jacket may be heavier than you expect but that is for your safety (it still breathes very well!)
- The grey colour helps with heat by not getting as hot as black or darker colours in the sun, while also suiting a wide range of bikes and looks
- Extra 1000D Cordura reinforcing on the shoulders and elbows (the highest risk areas)
- YKK main zipper Protection

- CE2 armour used in the Shoulders, Elbows and Back
- The armour used in the elbows has huge coverage and extends most of the way down the forearm giving the best protection especially offroad in rocky environments!
- This jacket also has armour in the chest which is made from the same material as the rest of the armour (isn't CE certified)
- All armour is removable, flexible, soft and tests very well in impact absorption.
