Yup, as you’ve said before, textile is more versatile.
If you’d have been wearing somethng like my Olympia Motosports Airglide jacket, you could just have pulled over and taken out the waterproof/windproof liner and worn the armoured mesh and cordura shell only (if you had some luggage space to stash the liners).
I like the idea of the weight loss thing though 
Here in CA, we can legally lane-split, so it’s less of a problem until we get into the 100+ degrees days of Summer, when nothing barring a wet tee-shirt underneath, will keep you cool.
