Compromises.. we all have to settle for compromises in our riding gear. It just depends on which compromises we are willing to put up with. I can't imagine giving up the air flow of my mesh jacket in the heat of the summer. I like the look of a 2 piece pants/jacket, and the ability to remove just the jacket at a rest stop and have several combos of each from heavy duty cordura, to light weight cordura, and solid leather to ventilated leather, from waist coats to 3/4 length, and from jean type cordura and leather pants to touring type cordura pants. I am willing to stop and put on a rain suit occasionally so as not to give up the versatility of the riding gear I have now. It's why I also wear the Hi Viz vest which will go over any jacket I have from mesh to heavy duty leather.
