Default Need riding jacket; any advice?

I need a riding jacket and was wondering if you fine people have any advice for me. I want one that offers good protection, but won't smother me on hot days. The last riding jacket I had weighed about 15 pounds due to all the armor and it was black, so it was like sitting in a sauna the whole time I was wearing it. Something that feels light and keeps me cool would be great. I don't want to spend more than $250, so please give any info you can. Thanks!!
