Default Tricolore jacket good year round?

I'll buy a new monster in a few weeks (my first bike!), and I'm trying to figure out what kind of riding gear to buy (I already bought helmet, gloves and boots for the MSF class, but I still need to find a jacket and pants).

I like the Ducati Tricolore textile/leather jacket; according to descriptions online, there is a removable thermal lining that makes it good for both cold and warm weather. I was wondering if this is really true... anybody has any experience with tha jacket in warm weather?

Thanks
Giordy

I just bought one today, I'll let you know. It was 90 today so I didn't wear it yet.

Yeah, I really like it, it breathes nicely even in the summer heat, as long as you keep moving. Get it, great jacket. And I got 20% off because the new stuff is coming out soon.

S2K, thanks for the info!
Where did you get it with 20% off? Also, any tips about sizing?

I got mine in Louisville, got a good deal on it. As far as sizing, it was in line with the USA sizing, I wear a XL in just about everything, and the XL jacket fit me perfectly. And my new Arai profile Italian flag model helmet matches it nicely.
