All I can offer for advice is make sure that they have good armor reinforcement in the shoulder, elbows/forearm, and back.....and very important to me is that they have adjustable "cinching straps" of some sort that allow you to tighten the waistband area to help lessen the jacket wanting to "ride up" on your person in the event of a get-off. You want the jacket to fit snug in the arms, and waist, not loose so I can ride up on your body exposing your flesh.

I ordered one of the jackets that you listed (see below), but I immediately returned it, as it felt very unsafe to me as far as "riding up" and having no lower cinch strap. No point in wearing a jacket to me if it is going to bunched up around my shoulders (exposing my back, and stomach) in a crash.

The "very meshy" and/or flimsy (nice word I made up) ones I have seen cause bad burns in a slide when the material heated up, and actually burnt the skin. Joe Rocket Phoenix is bad for this.
