I'll wear a mesh jacket once in a while but I don't consider them to be good protection. I put them in the better than nothing category.
As far as the armor staying in place while you're riding... are you sure you have the right size? I've never had armor move around while I was wearing it.

It is the right size. I guess I got so used to my JR that this just feels wrong. Plus, I have no neck and this has a collar that chokes me, so I leave it unzipped and tuck the collar in.
And I'll fight you on JR mesh for crashability. Both the hubby and I have slide down the road in these and they held up very well.
