Three layers sold as one, and which of them is fixed · review
SHIMA OpenAir review
A ventilated mesh summer jacket supplied with lightweight honeycomb-structure protectors at shoulders, elbows and back, sold with an explicit instruction to check the size chart.
The bottom line The only summer jacket here that names a back protector as supplied. That single line makes it a more complete purchase than several jackets costing more.
What the seller commits to paper
A ventilated mesh construction, and protectors at shoulders, elbows and back in a lightweight honeycomb structure the maker states allows air through. The back protector is named in the title.
Why the back protector matters here
Across this shelf, the back pocket of a jacket frequently holds a foam placeholder rather than certified armour — and buyers discover it after comparing prices. A listing that names a back protector as part of what is supplied has removed a hidden cost.
The level is not published, and it is printed on the protector. Read it when the jacket arrives.
What a mesh jacket is and is not
It is a summer garment. There is no membrane and no thermal liner, and rain is handled by an oversuit rather than by the jacket. That is the trade, and it is why the maker’s own sizing note — check the chart, size up if between sizes — is worth following: mesh does not stretch to forgive a tight fit.

What riders ask about this one
Does honeycomb armour breathe?
The maker states the structure allows free air circulation, which is why it is used in mesh jackets. That is a construction statement rather than a measured figure.
Can it be worn in rain?
It is a mesh jacket with no membrane stated. Rain gear worn over the top is the arrangement this kind of jacket assumes.
Who this one is for
Hot-weather riding where airflow matters more than a jacket that covers three seasons.
