Hi i'm looking for recommendation for a Summer riding jacket that offers ce rated protection. May be looking at icon,alpinestars, Dainese,spidi,oxford,agv sport, and rev it looking to stay under $300 but if some good protection.
Links, pics, and model number are all welcome

I can recommend my Firstgear Jaunt T2 wholeheartedly! I recently asphalt tested it and it protected me well in all the areas you could reasonably expect a jacket to. Couldn't do anything about protecting my ribs unfortunately. Zip out liner, CE Protection, well ventilated. Only gripe was the bulky Cuffs with the liner installed. I bought it from these guys when it was on sale last year at a substantial discount. Pays to shop around.

Summer is different depending on were you are.
For summer in Florida I have a First Gear and Olympia
Mesh jackets, and they're still warm. I bought each from RevZilla
for around $100. Up north you might be able to use a perforated leather
jacket from Vanson.
Both mesh jackets have Knox CE pads.

I love the Alpinestars line

I'm a fan of Joe Rocket products. They have a wide variety of products; including some really nice mesh jackets. Their support is really amazing as well. I ride wearing an Alter Ego jacket; which has a waterproof outer shell; but that peels off to reveal a full mesh jacket underneath; but they also have straight mesh jackets. We do a lot of touring miles; so for me the dual purpose is ideal.

I just upgraded to Alpinestars from ICON, bought a perforated leather jacket because even on the hottest of days, I wear leather. So far, the perforated leather and the "mesh" along the inner sleeves are awesome for airflow. Granted, we've had a very mild spring, so mild I've been cold and needed layering under the new jacket, but I'm a huge fan and love the fit. It's above the $300 price point, but I love it. Makes me want to explore more A-Stars jackets...
