[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 1197613, member: 15488"] Agree on the Mesh stuff. It didn't impact my Russell seat which I've had for about 25k miles, but I've noticed it has removed the "shine" from where the knees rub on the tank. I put some 3M sticker material that MC007Rider was kind enough to share, problem solved. That's true of every jacket I own, Tourmaster, Lewis Leathers, etc. If its got armor and padding, its heavy no matter what. Have you ever washed them? At the presentation, Wayne mentioned that the liners do get oils, sweat, dirt etc that may reduce their effectiveness. Wayne explained that when the liners are washed as instructed, they perform as intended, and almost everyone who has raised the issue had not washed their liners. Totally agree here. The Mesh kevlar suit makes you look like the Michelin man with all the liners and armor and such. The Stretch Kevlar, not so bulky. I was expecting the Marathon Jacket to be a beast, but it was far less bulky than the Mesh. [/QUOTE]
