The mesh ones are usually linings that come in Japanese manufactured leathers.  They stay with the rider rather than the suit.

If you just want a cool suit, you can go to an sports store and get these "cool shirts" and pants.  They pull the perspiration off the body which cools one down, and then they make it easy to get out of your suit.  Seems like I paid about $45 for a shirt.  Was really all I needed.

That point you in the right direction?

Thanks Super_Dave. After I read your reply, I found the cool shirts/pants at the first two online sport stores that I checked, and both stores are local as well.....directions don't come any better than that! thanks again, ellie

Do they come with built in "lovehandle" pouches, Dave?  My lovehandles sweat profusely!
