If you look at a new D30 back armor you'll see most of the vent holes are blocked by a very thin skin.
The ribs of the back pad should give you some air flow but I like to open the holes using a small solder iron.

There's a little discount on the 2018 Klim Induction Jackets now and I bought one from Motorcycle Gear $279.

We have bought a lot of non current gear from this vendor.
Right now the jacket is only 20% off. By spring it will probably be down to 40 to 50% off.
I wanted the blue trim and decided to buy now while I had a choice on color.
I also like the look of the 2018 jacket better than the 2021 jackets that will be available soon.
I'll probably just use this jacket for day rides.
The jacket has the newer style vented shoulder and elbow armor.
