Triumph Raptor Mesh jacket vs. Rochester Mesh jacket

[togliat]

I posted this in the General Forum but thought I might find some answers quicker from you verbose s3 freaks.

;-)

The Triumph Raptor Mesh jacket and Rochester Mesh jacket are more or less the same price at $129 vs. $150, respectively. Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with either jacket?

I'm interested in purchasing one of them for summer riding.
Thanks for any insights!

I've got the Raptor mesh jacket. I've not seen the other one you mentioned but of the mesh jackets I have seen, the Raptor is the best. By that I mean it seems much more substantial than the others. Has some of the best armor I've seen (Knox CE hard armor) that secures in place very well. I prefer perf leather but on those really hot days the raptor is definitely cooler.
