I have a classic leather jacket, comfortable from 37-60 degrees. A Hillside Leather/Cordura Vented jacket good for 45-75 degrees. This year I bought the HD Bar and Shield Mesh Jacket with optional Elbow and Shoulder Armor. I really like it because it came in Long. It is actually cooler than no jacket, even at 90 degrees. Under 70 it is a little cool, I would wear a long sleeve shirt, for 65. I wear my other jacket under 65.
I bought it for full price at my local dealer. I bought one for my son at 20% off form House of Harley. The armor seems sturdy, and is comfortable.
