What kind of price range are you looking at? As others had mentioned, the really high quality mesh gear is pretty pricey. Regular mesh-textile jackets can be had for quite cheap, if that's what you're interested in buying. Despite my often-negative attitude towards the stuff, it is definitely better than nothing. As for the leather, I'd guess that you'd be needing to spend quite a bit more for one that would breathe really well. IMO full textile jackets breathe less than full leather jackets, but that's just been my experience, YMMV.

Don't worry, we all know one (or 20) of those......even over here in VA with helmet laws, I see them all the time during the summer. God I can't wait for winter so I can ride in peace again. Once the temp. drops below 50 I'm happy :2tup:....below 40 and I'm even happier. Only rode in the snow a few times, but those were the only days of snow out here last winter.
Good luck with your gear-choices, keep us posted!
Ride safe
