As for Craigslist... I check it daily (not an exaggeration). Around here, you see 2 types of gear/bikes: Harleys and stretched/lowered Hyabusa's. I still check daily.
Was the "boots not breathing" comment about something like the Cortech? I'm curious there because it looks like a HUGE step up from what I have now.

I glanced at the memphis craigslist and was distracted by Leonardo, the ninja turtle chick magnet:

Edit: Oh and for the textile / mesh question, what you want to do is create a micro-climate around your body. The mesh allows a lot of air through that will mess this up if the ambient temperature is far enough away from the ideal. If it is really hot outside, a textile will keep your cooler body heat next to your body. If it is really cold, it will keep the warmer body heat next to you. The "ideal temperature" varies for everyone but I find about 75 degrees is mild enough that the difference between mesh and textile is negligible. Textile cloth should generally have more abrasion resistance than a netted mesh.
