Thanks to all for the feedback and advice. I purchased a HD mesh jacket and cooling vest. First rode with only the mesh jacket, 94 degrees with 55% humidity, t-shirt underneath and I have to admit, it was pretty comfortable. You really can feel the air through the jacket and the cooling effect. I can see how it would help to prevent dehydration.
I then soaked the cooling vest. Bid difference was the weight of the cooling vest with all that water and honestly it was not that much cooler than riding with just the mesh jacket.
Each ride was about an hour in duration at highway speeds.
Bottom line I am sold on the mesh jacket. Feel much safer if I was ever to take a spill, especially at highway speed.
Thanks again.
