They say the best gear, is the gear you wear. Well, I'll be wearing this one. To give you an idea of how picky I am, this is my forth jacket in 2 months. I also tried 7 different pairs of gloves. My last one, and the one I've been wearing, is the First Gear Mesh-Tex 3.0. It wasn't a bad jacket, but the collar was a little high and irritated my neck. The mesh was alright, but a little scratchy. Other than that, it was a little short and loose on me (XXL). I decided to try out the Intake jacket instead. It has the same fabrics as the Venture air, which I absolutely loved (soft, yet protective), came in the XLT I needed, was cheap, looked nice, and was multi-season. It just came in today, and I love it. With the reflective piping, it looks sleeker than the Mesh-Tex's plain design, yet is still subtle. It flows a ton more air with the looser mesh, yet has the two additional layers. It fits easily with both layers installed for me, contrary to this site's experience. Only a hair snug with a collared shirt and hoodie underneath. The armor is just as comfortable as the Mesh-Tex. There are also more adjustments along the arm and body than the Mesh-Tex. The biggest upgrade, besides the fit, is the more durable non-mesh fabric on the impact zones. It's also cool and soft, but it'll probably protect me more in a fall. It really seems more protective than the Mesh-Tex, but also cooler in the summer and more comfortable. It may even be warm enough for all seasons, it's just an awesome jacket for the money.
