Default Looking to go mesh

I was doing a little searching for some mesh jackets and I stumbled upon this:

And I also saw a pair of pants that go with it:

What do you guys think about this? Looks good, doesnt look good? And should I go with the set or just get the jacket?

That's a pretty slick looking jacket. Nice find. Might have to grab one.

Mesh is great for really hot days, andcompared to being a squid by wearing flip-flops, shorts, and a T-shirt, your skin will bemore protected.Although I have never dumped any of my bikes, I still don't feel "real safe" wearing mesh though. The initial fall probably wouldn't be so bad, but Ithink if I went sliding on the pavement for more than a few feet,thatmesh gear would get torn up pretty quickly. It's definitely a trade off between comfort and protection.

I need mesh for sure. I live in Florida and it's always hot and humid. I was looking at a Feildsheer mesh jacket that would run me $100. This one seems like a pretty good deal.

The best deal I ever got was my Joe Rocket Mesh jacket from newenough.com for $24 on closeout! My Alpinestars mesh pants were a bit higher though.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm definitely going to get it, but I first I have to wait for them to get more sizes. They only have 2 sizes in. It sucks, but atleast its not sweltering hot outside yet.
