Aerostitch Darien jacket ($497 -- you get what you pay for, IMHO). 
Zip-out fleece liner, 500 denier cordura, 3M Scotchlite reflective, 
zippered underarm and back vents, GoreTex lining to make it waterproof, 
and removable hard-shell foam pads in the elbows and shoulders. (There 
are more features, but these are the ones you seemed primarily 
interested in.)

Add $60 for the removable back protector. There are several different 
electric liners available, too, but I don't need any of them here in 
Northern CA so I don't have any direct experience with them.

I've used mine for three years of daily commuting, weekend back roads, 
and the occasional rallye. It's red, which is a fade-prone color, but it 
still looks good and hasn't faded noticeably. It's still waterproof in 
even the heaviest downpours, and it's comfortable to wear anywhere 
between 40 degrees and 100 degrees (as much as any jacket can be in hot 
weather).

Aerostitch/Riders Wearhouse has also been a joy to work with. I've 
ordered from them at least a dozen times, and never had a bad 
experience. The one time I wanted to return something (I ordered the 
wrong item) there was zero hassle.

Call them at 800-222-1994 or visit their web site
