Motorcycle jacket ventilation, breather

thingiverse

I have a custom-made leather jacket with a built-in ventilation system that I designed to keep me cool on long rides. Since my jacket doesn't have any zippers or vents, I had to think outside the box to solve this problem. Using 3D printed parts, I created a system that can be mounted anywhere on the jacket, but make sure it won't interfere with your gear before attaching it. To secure it in place, you'll need M3 screws about 10mm long. The design is meant to push air through the jacket using the holes and lift underneath, keeping me cool even on hot days. I also added a feature that allows you to glue a sponge to the top part to prevent bugs from getting inside and leaving bruises. I've updated my design to make it look better and improve airflow. This new version should be placed on both sides of the jacket, with air flowing towards your arms. By adjusting the volume from high to low, you'll increase air speed, drop pressure, and feel a refreshing coolness. The principle behind this system is similar to the one I designed for the back of my jacket (check out my other design).
