I have narrowed it down to two. Here are my thoughts:

Olympic seems like the better value:
-more hi viz material
-Cordura 500 mesh material
-CE approved elbow, shoulder and back (though I cannot find what level of CE approval it offers)
-Has a rain liner option
$199 on RevZilla with RevZilla cash I have; can get another $10 RevZilla cash with purchase

However, the Klim:
-has D3O protection at elbows and shoulders - I really like this feature
-Not Cordura, but high strength mesh
-no rain liner
-Klim has great reputation for durability, but also their name recognition is built into the price below
-very popular mid-priced jacket
$349 on RevZilla and everywhere else with no discounts
I just bought a mesh jacket on Amazon a few weeks ago, and it comes with a removable inner liner. It is now my favorite jacket for the heat here in Southern California. Check it out. Joe Rocket Goldwing Skyline 2.0 Mens Silver/Grey Mesh Jacket. Good luck
