Bucket List

Your mesh jacket will cause you to evaporate moisture too quickly. They’re effective in humid conditions but not so much in hot, arid conditions. If you have a way to zip up your jacket to keep the wind from drying you out, all the better.

Good advice. It's hard for us denizens of humid subtropical states to comprehend the thermodynamics of hot, semi-arid climates in the summer. Although evaporative cooling works to an extent, at some point low humidity dehydrates and airflow at ambient air temperatures above say 99-100 °F acts to raise body temperature rather than lower it. The only defense is to stop cooking yourself by convection and stop the air flow.
