I just picked up a FieldSheer Congo Air Mesh. The fit seems great as well as quality.

Nice jacket, now where have I seen it before.....oh yeah in my closet:BLAA:

I like it so far. Has all the protective padding you need and breathes well on hot days so you don't stink of sweat after a long ride.

Where did you find those mesh padded shorts? I have been wanting to get some, but I wanted to make sure they could breath well.

I got for $65 around Christmas when they were on sale...They breath very well, but pulling them off and on will put stress around the top elastic ban...I wear them over a pair of shorts(don't wear under wear:BLAA:) which help so I don't have to pull on the mesh...

As I mentioned in my intro I am using Rev'IT gear and extremely satisfied. The knee protectors and the back protector insert are Forcefield, I believe they have some outstanding products, do check them out. The helmet is an Arai RX-7, this design was not available in Europe and I got mine from the States. Also have the dark visor which I use 90% of the time.

Quick summer gear report...

My Speed and Strength textile jacket is very good up to 85-90f, after that it's too hot...

My First Racing mesh jacket is great so far(91f)... It's fills good to ride without a shirt under the mesh jacket, when it's real hot...

The Shoei RF1000 is great in all seasons... The air flow is very good... I'll all ways spend the money to get a top notch helmet...

The Sac-Tec back protector is great in textile, and mesh... It's not near as hot as I thought it would be... If you don't have a back protector, I think this is a must have in you jackets...

The Bhon shorts are made for this... I think with mesh pants, and the Bhon shorts, the 100+ summer will be very nice...

The Thor knee pads work very well under my over size jeans, and so far the heat is not an issue with them... The best $13 protection you can buy...(for a bike)

My Oxtar boots are very conformable in any weather... Money well spent...

Oh, my Motoboss gauntlet gloves are breaking in very nicely... I thought the thick leather would be too much for the heat, but so far so good...

On a side note... My Cortech tail bag is Super handy for every day needs...

I had those boots, after of wearing them everyday, in the rain and shine, the leather loops for the laces gave away near the top. They were great boots while they lasted!

The same thing happened to my Icon Super Duty 3s. A quick trip the the Red Wing Shoe shop saw the loops replaced with regular old eyelets and they're back in action.

boots:
Sidi Fusion

I also have a pair of Frank Thomas XTi Aqua textile pants I wear for cold weather.

This year, I want to either pick up a pair of leather pants, or a two peice suit. Depends on funds later on this year, as I just spent all of my saved up motorcycle money on mods.
