Too hot for leather?

Too hot for leather?
Considering it gets up into the 90's around here during the summer, when looking at gear I'm wondering if I should go with leathers or other alternatives.
I'm either considering the Joe Rocket GPX 2-piece suit and associated gloves/boots..
Or a more 'street-oriented' setup with Icon - all their field armor pieces, a mesh jacket and some of their reinforced jeans.
Thoughts?

i like icon the best out of everthing i tried on. id stick with a leather jacket with a removeable liner if your only going to buy one jacket, if not get a mesh one for 100 bucks or less along with your leather one. just depends on how you can work it out.

Well is the leather jacket needed with the armor? I suppose it protects different things; the armor for impact, the leather for rash. But with the armor on under would a textile protect against rash just as well or not?

the more you use the leather, the easier it becomes to manuver in. it needs a break in period, unless you go with a icon daytona retro type jacket that has pre warn leather whitch is one of the jackets i have and it kicks *** hands down on every other leather jacket i have owned.

Well I don't mean maneuvering.. I mean like leather pants would be weird to wear around whereas I could wear the icon jeans and just remove the lower leg armor with no problem.
