I ride with a Firstgear mesh type jacket in summer.  It has the armor in the shoulders, elbows, and back. 9 pockets for stuff.  I got it through an online place (can't recall which one).  It was a closeout, and I paid $130 plus shipping.  This should do me well, until the cold weather hits.
For the colder stuff, I have a non-mesh Cordura jacket that does well. It is armored as well, and it has a zip-in backpack, which is a neat feature and gets lots of comments. I got this used off of the local Craigslist for $75.

It's probably not cool to have armor in a jacket, but with all the crazy cagers and inattentive drivers out there, I'd rather have as much protection as I can get.
