Very good advise, Alex !!!
Mesh has less protecting capability than textile and textile less than leather.

Again, I would stop shopping around (the easiest part if you have the money) and would start understanding what you need.
Consider your weather, the time of the day, the heaviness of traffic, the length of your average ride,............ and the money and the service work that Pepe sure needs.
After doing that homework, find a mortar shop where you can try the gear on your body and get familiar with the sizes and materials.
Almost as bad as riding under-geared, is riding distracted by the discomfort of feeling hot/wet/cold and squeezed up by boots and helmet.
