I don't like mesh either, but i bought one and i really can't imagine a regular looking jacket that will stay cool anywhere near them. When moving it's just like not having a jacket on at all. I know thats not the answer you wanted and maybe someone will dispute it. But mesh jackets are a material that is like wearing a screen, and w/o that i can't see how airflow could be nearly as much with any material thats not do open. There are some that don't have all the colors and patterns too. I bought a Joe Rocket that has very little of that and i've seen them blowing them out online for as little as $30, original price around $120.

That said however, the one thing i'm having a hard time dealing with is the feel of having a jacket that feels like i'm wearing chainmail sans the weight. I still haven't determined how much if at all i'll be wearing it. Thats my problem with them, tho as i said there ARE mesh jackets w/o all that dumb looking design BS.
