My 30 yo daughter bought a jacket by "Shift". It's a very attractive black and white womens riding mesh jacket with some attractive (read female type detailing) for about $175. She really likes hers. They are really tailored for women and it looks like it's well made and has some substantial armor. This is the model she has:

This is from the guy who won't do ATFGATFT. But my kid is a different story. She wants to wear armor and I think it's great.
Good luck in your search!
