Re: Jacket: Mesh or Textile

I have leather and mesh, both sort of top of the line, both armored. Hardly ever wear the leather. (CA, maybe not as hot as Texas and probably not as cold either.) I like the weight of the mesh and, when it gets cool, I leave the lining in, add a thermal underlayers, or, if really cool, but my rain jacket over.

Haven't ever crashed at speed yet, but I'm guessing the leather is better for crashing.
