VERY TRUE

but I chance it just because I like to be more comfortable while riding, thats why I like mesh jackets, still has all the padding but its very breathable in 90+ weather and I use my bike for commuting to work and there are quite a few lights no matter what way I go.

Vlad why are you totally against mesh but you will get textile?
