OK. In a couple of weeks (hopefuly) when I'm recovered enough to start riding I"ll need to have a protective jacket. Since it's warm, mostly, I was looking at a mesh jacket. Are there any you recommend (for under $200 hopefully)?

I have been satisfied with the inexpensive Brosh jacket from Israel. I
ordered the back armor upgrade, too. it is wearing well and was very
comfortable in hot weather.

I picked up a Joe Rocket Ballistic series Phoenix jacket shortly
after they released the "new model" jacket (I got the older one) for
somewhere around $30. It has armor inserts everywhere and when I'm
wearing it I can feel airflow just walking around. Looking at their
website the price for one of the new ones is $150.

It s at the upper range of your budget, but I recommend the Olympia Airglide
2 Mesh Tech Jacket. It is very well made and works as a three-season jacket
(zip out waterproof liner, with wet-suit zipper). I have the neon yellow
and black, but there are less obvious, more stylish, choices.

+1 for the Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket. I did the MSF ERC on an 87 degree
day on an asphalt parking lot and managed to stay cool. It has armor in
all the right places.

I have the intake and love it. I wore it all winter and never got
cold and have worn it on a number of 85 degree plus rides and never
gotten to hot.
The one thing I would say is try one on before you buy. The liners
can make it feel snug...until you take them out and realize you have a
very large jacket. Luckily it is pretty adjustable in the arms, so
you can tighten the sleeves. I bought an XL but could have gone down
to a L...I got a bigger one because I thought I would need more
insulation in the winter, but I didn't. but, I think it is a
fantastic bargin for the price.
