A lot of folks, my wife included, like the Joe Rocket open mesh jackets
with armor. They run $100 or so which makes them affordable. I wear
a perf leather to commute, but I feel the heat going home. Admittedly,
the JR is more comfortable in very high temps, but not as cool looking
as the leather. I believe JR now as a pants version out now also.
Anectodal evidence here and elsewhere seems to indicate that the jackets
will protect you in a get off, but they're pretty much trashed after
a serious pavement surf.
