Well I purchased the Dainese Zen Tex jacket today.  I tried on several jackets and decided that it was a better choice for my needs.  Will give you a full report later this week.

Review of Zen-Tex:  I suited up for my 12 mile commute to work this morning at 7AM is was in the mid-60's here in central Florida.  Pulling out of the driveway I immediately noticed the ventilation, when up to 35mph it was like wearing a t-shirt!!  I had to look down to see if the jacket was zipped.  At lunch the temp was 90 degrees with about 40% humidity a little warmer than normal for May.  The jacket performed wonderful even in stop and go traffic it was very comfortable.  In my opinion the only thing I might change is the color from black to something that soaks up less heat from the sun.  Overall a very comfortable and safe feeling jacket for the heat.

Thanks Beck   Dolph,     

got the zen tex today from moto wheels, its very light has shoulder pads and elbow pads and has a pocket for the back protector..
again it is VERY light but looks to be made well. I have not took a ride in it as it is still sort of cold here, but I imagine for 80+ days this jacket would be perfect, better then a t shirt anyway.. ill let you know how it is in the heat, but so far its nice and comfy.. fits true to size as well.
