I've been looking too. Trouble I found is that the so-called "summer jackets" just feel that they offer so little protection (especially compared to my leather jacket).
Nearest I've found to what I'm looking for is the Hein Gericke Spader jacket, £159-99, fairly sturdy textile with leather shoulders and elbows with HiprotecV, plus backshock protector (removable if you use a different back protector), waterproof, but with zippered vents on each breast and one each side in the back.
At least this feels like it'll protect you, just don't know how well the venting works.
Looks and feels good quality and value compared to everything else I've seen so far.
