I was being sarcastic, but I recently sold a black textile jacket that I had intended to wear for summer. Black is just too hot for me to wear when it's 90+. Black attracts more sun than any other color except for green. Sun = heat. To me it just seems to defeat the purpose of wearing a 'summer' jacket that attracts sun, when the idea is to stay cooler. I picked up something in red/white and it's MUCH cooler IMO.

I got on ebay my Hein Gericke Edge Nylon-Mesh jacket for sale if your intersted. Its original like $80-100 from most places online. Let me know if you want it, I could sell it to you if nobody goes for it on ebay. I only want like $30 for it and seriously nothing wrong with it major, just missing a little rubber tap on the one ziper pocket. Other then that its a steal, and its size Large.

SouthJersey600R, thanks for the offer, but I'm an extra large size. I need the extra room across the shoulders.

I do think I'll check out the eBay site though, looks like lots of stuff there.

If it's the black/silver one, I'll give you $30 for it.
