One of the big selling points of the meshie I bought is the leather that its got on the shoulders and forearms for a little extra protection.

Yeah, mine does too, it's actually one of the nicest mesh jackets I've ever seen. It's a Cortech GX-Air.

I used to think Cortech was kinda entry level crap, but I bought a pair of boots from a friend of mine, and he had a GX-Air which he sold me for $50. I could wear that thing 12 months a year, and it offers amazing protection. It's the best mesh jacket I've ever seen, and I have worked in a couple different shops and owned four or five different mesh jackets.

I did as well until I tried on a buddies FSX then I went out and bought one...Lol

I really Like there Gear.

Cortech is a lower price than the competition, but their quality is certainly top notch. And while they may not have the best style, their comfort and protection is right up there with high end gear. My GX sport is a very nice jacket for the price and it came standard with CE armor and double back padding (a removable pad inside the jacket and non removable padding sewn right into the outer shell). 360 and 8 in zipper included. I feel safe whenever I have it on and never fear going down and getting rashed. I did however purchase a high end leather jacket recently.

You can never have to much gear and can always use a spare jacket.
