1. A ventilated jacket comprising: a front portion adapted to correspond to a user's front when worn; a back portion opposite the front portion; left and right side portions, each side portion extending between the front portion and the back portion; left and right sleeve portions, each sleeve portion extending from a corresponding one of the left and right side portions; a left vent system on the left side portion of the jacket; and a right vent system on the right side portion of the jacket, the left vent system and the right vent system each including a first vent, a second vent, and a third vent, wherein each first vent extends from the corresponding side portion onto at least a portion of the corresponding sleeve portion and crosses a joint between the side portion and the sleeve portion, such that first and second ends of each first vent are spaced away from the joint, each first vent being movable between an open position and a closed position via at least one first fastening member, the first vents configured to allow air flow when in the open position, wherein each second vent is disposed in the corresponding side portion forward of the corresponding first vent, each second vent being movable between an open position and a closed position via at least one second fastening member, the second vents configured to allow air flow when in the open position, and wherein each third vent is disposed in the corresponding side portion rearward of the corresponding first vent, each third vent being movable between an open position and a closed position via at least one third fastening member, the third vents configured to allow air flow when in the open position, wherein within each vent system, the first vent, the second vent, and the third vent define a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis, respectively, wherein the first axis extends parallel to a virtual line on the corresponding side portion of the jacket extending from a lowermost point of attachment between the sleeve portion and the corresponding side portion when worn to a point of the corresponding side portion directly below, toward a bottom edge of a waistline of the jacket, and wherein each of the second axis and the third axis is substantially parallel to the first axis such that an angular offset is less than 10 degrees from the first axis; wherein a lateral distance between the first vent and one or both of the second and third vents increases in a direction from the waistline toward a neck opening of the jacket.
