I went to a local shop and looked at the Joe Rocket and ICON mesh textile jackets in person and I honestly wasn't that impressed.
I was really hoping to find something functional for around $200 that can breath and has some CE armor to protect the pointy parts.

mesh, textile, or both? theyre two different styles.
i have the textile timax, and it has plenty of protection, and if i remember right, the armor is ce approved.

The TiMax line doesn't specify CE approved armor: "3 genuine titanium armor plates.". I noticed that most of the other ICON jackets do actually specify "CE approved" armor as a feature.

The advice is all appreciated guys! Does any place local to Tampa carry a reasonable selection of Vanson leathers?
