Default Summer jacket

What do you guys recommend for a summer riding jacket? I'm talking those 90 + degree days.
I sometimes go out all squidly, but most of time i'd wear a dinese leather jacket. Not comfortable at all, no perfs.
I want something comfortable with decent protection.

On the 105+ degree days I pull out my Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket and pants (and Tourmaster Airflow gloves). They are not built to last forever but the price is right for a second set of gear, the venting is as good as possible, and the jackets have been known to work in a single crash. The armor feels better than my big-dollar Motoport suit.
