Default Mesh safari/bikini top

Does anyone out there have any of the mesh safari/bikini tops? I've had the regular top material ones on past Wranglers, but the mesh is a new material for me.

I like the idea of it: cutting the sun/but letting wind and air in...but not sure if they suck quality or fit wise.

The one I'm looking at right now is the Rampage safari top that can zip off to a bikini top...2 tops in one.

Experience and/or pics are needed.
Thanks!

I am running the SipderWeb bikini top.
I love it. It can stay on with the soft top. It only takes a few minutes to install.

X2 It's a lot cheaper than the Bestop, and you don't have to remove it. Just leave it there all summer!

This is the only pic I can find of mine, and you can only see a small part of it.

I have one... I think it's made by Rugged Ridge. My only complaint is that it doesn't fit my 4door correctly. I thought it might be a 2door version sent by mistake but it's long enough to cover the whole top. My issue is the rear retaining straps are too short (6 inches) and don't reach anything. Most ones I've seen wrap around the center bar and strap into the center windshield loop. This one has j-clips that are useless. I have to use a bungee to reinforce them down somewhere.
