I have two Feildsheer jackets. One is textile with alot of armor and the one is a mesh air jacket with alot of foam pads. Ihave not went down with eaither, but I do feel safer with the textile one. The mesh does keep me nice and cool in the summer hear as long as i'm moving. Looking back I should have just got a nice leather.

Any gear is better then no gear. I love when you see someone that has a lip on and shorts and a tee LOL! Well atleast there face will still look good.
