I got a First Gear mesh from motorcycle closeouts.com at a very reasonable price.

I recently purchased a FirstGear MeshTech III. Outstanding product. In mid-80's sunny weather, cool and comfortable. Somewhat better protection over series II model. Price - from local retailer - $129. They can probably be purchased at a lower price on the web.

I wear the new eagle HD mesh. I added CE armor in the shoulders and elbows. It's pretty nice.
