I just ordered my last piece of riding gear... The Mesh-Tex 3 jacket. Does anyone have any 1st hand knowledge of the Mesh-Tex jackets? This is "ballastic nylon" (yeah right...lol) with CE armour in the elbows and shoulders and foam armour in the spine. It's a mesh warm weather jacket... hopefully it won't be too hot in Texas.

Total wardrobe now...

HJC Symax hat
1st Gear Intruder leather jacket (already had this)
1st Gear Mesh-Tex jacket
Harley leather pants (already had this)
Harley leather chaps (already had this)
Dianese Kangaroo armoured gloves
Alpinestar Roam boots
Assorted doo rags


Now we get to start on mama's schtuph. She wants all pink. (women!)

This has been like giving birth! :frusty:

It will be to hot in TX weather. That is only because TX weather is to hot. Mesh lets about 99 percent airflow through. It will feel just as good as no jacket when moving. It will add a little heat when not, but thats just because you have more material on. Less than if you were wearing an additional shirt though.
