Any recommendations for a more breathable jacket?

My current jacket is a Power Trip Ronin Denim jacket. Despite the review on motorcyclegear, to me, it's more of a cold weather jacket. Link to it is here:

I'm looking for something that breathes more and provides better airflow. I drive in traffic quite a bit (which, I know, flow will be limited anyway), but sitting in this heavy jacket with the sun beating down on you in a full face helmet gets to be borderline unbearable some days. MN is filled with heat and humidity right now.

Not sure if I'm lookin' for a Textile jacket. or a Mesh jacket. (not sure I even know the difference between the two much). But I definitely want armor (that much I know). But just wondering what others use and thoughts on a good, safe and breathable jacket to beat the heat!

Thanks in advance!
