Hi,

Good Idea! I have spent a great deal of time looking at protection. No, not Trojans! You should talk to the folks at Motoport. I am not affiliated with them in any way. They claim that the mesh jackets you are looking at are bad news.
They say that the polyester mesh melts and winds up in your skin if you have a slide. NOT GOOD! I have their Touring Jacket. Air does flow through it at 35 MPH or so. It is light weight and fairly cool. They have also started to make a mesh jacket made of a special Kevlar blend. These guys seem to know what they are talking about. I think I spoke with a guy named Andy, but not positive that is the correct name. Hope this helps
