Default wheres a mesh jacket that will protect also

i have a mesh jacket and i do like it. but it is basically a nylon mesh. most probably won't protect much if i go down.

so i am looking for a good mesh that will also afford protection.

and while we are at it, how about a pair of mesh overpants.

check out leather up.com. I just bought a mesh jacket with armor on the elbows, shoulders, and back for $67.00 shipped. Great jacket for the price.
Oh ya, it also has a removable liner.

Top of the line are the Motoport products using Kevlar. For an inexpensive jacket take a look at Brosh ... they use Kevlar as well.

Default Mesh Jacket

I have a Joe Rock Mesh Jacket with perforated leather sleeves. Jacket also has some padding. This is a good hot weather jacket up to about 95 then you need to add some cooling help with a wet bandana.
