I think I saw a thread about the Joe Rocket mesh jacket on here a while back. I got one and its got good padding but the Astars are cooler. hehe.
From what I remember , the Joe Rocket jacket is pretty good at saving you from getting ripped up BUT, it works once. It'll protect you but will be destroyed in the process if you were to unfortunately take a decent spill. kind of like a crumple zone on a car, in that its designed to suffer the damage of the impact.. I have NO experience with the protective quality of this jacket. In other words, Wait for others to post & do more research on mesh jackets. Hope that helps
