Mossi makes a very nice 3/4 jacket, 600 Denier, with a removable liner, and armor, for around $100.  This is what I went down in, last low-side.  Waterproof, warm, comfy, and stylish --red/black is really sharp.  Check Amazon.com -- best price I found.

Otherwise, Leatherup.com has very decent armored jackets from Xelement (son was wearing my old one in that low-side, kept him safe).  Prices are very affordable, jackets are well ventilated, comfortable, and many styles to choose from. I would trust nearly any Xelement jacket, based on my 40MPH low-side experience.  Cheers!
