Im looking at a similar pair for xmas, and a jacket too. I dont have the cash to grab some leathers either at this point. but the textile is better than nothing, and still has the body armor, and protect your arse just fine. But if you do go down, ur more likely to have to replace these than leathers. new enough has a ton of these on sale / closeout right now.

Sometimes you can pick up good leathers on E-bay pretty cheap. I got a brand new 2 pc leather AGV suit for $150. You just have to spend some time looking. Came with armor in it too.

go for it, get the mesh. If you are as good a rider as some think they are the mesh will last forever.lolTDA Racing/Motorsports

I for one can not get leathers. I just can't seem to find a pair that would fit me. I was looking at the JR pants, and had made up my mind on the balistics. Now, I may have to see if they make the mesh in my size.

I wore mine for my first season, very comfortable. In colder months a pair of track pants underneath did the trick.
The only thing I found was after wearing leather pants for all of this season, the day I did wear the phoenix pants I felt naked.Kyle

Matt,
I used Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh Jacket and Pants last season. I have not gone down wearing them, but I would recommend them. Great in hot weather. Then when it gets cold I switch to Joe Rocket Meteor 4 ballistic gear. Get both and you're set (and it won't break the bank).I ride, therefore I am.
