I have the Alter Ego jacket and pants.
It is wonderful when you are out all day, where the morning is frigid, and then heats up during the day to the 80s (F) when you strip off the panels to cool down, and then the evenings start to cool again.
It is a LOT better than carrying multiple jackets on your bike for a day. (IMHO)
I would rather have a mesh jacket, than a jacket too hot to wear.
If I was doing high-risk riding, then I would want leather with impact armor, and as many cooling/vent zippers as I could get. But, it would not be as comfortable.
