Ok i bought a mens scorpion 2010 textile/mesh jacket and its been wonderful at any temperature. The mesh allows for air flow, but the liner with a hoody underneath i ride in the low 40's without any problems. Its very durable and has no wear or color fade. The pads are large, but still very agile. As for the womens, i bought my g/f a new 2011 Scorpion textile jacket and she says its great. Its only been in the cooler temperatures and she says its very warm even without a hoody underneath, but warm temps are unknown at this time. She said for a woman it fits her curves very well but the neck is slightly too high, but is good for blocking wind. She also noticed that the front part(white) is starting to fade/change color slightly and gets dirty very easy so i recommend a different color. The pads are smaller than the mens, but fits a woman very well.
