I had a Hein Gericke mesh jacket and was unimpressed with its protection in a medium-speed low-side I had. I replaced it with a CyclePort mesh jacket, which is supposed to be much better at abrasion resistance (kevlar/lycra blend material), and it has been very comfortable, though it's a bit on the heavy side. I was able to travel through Death Valley in 110+ temperatures in reasonable comfort with a wet vest underneath it. I wear it year-round, I just throw a rain jacket over it when it's cold or wet.
