Struggling to find the right jacket. Any thoughts?

So I’m looking to purchase a couple of bikes soon (Himalayan 450), for myself and my wife. I’m trying to get the right protective gear, especially since my wife is a new rider (I haven’t owned a bike in a few years; we’re both doing the MSF course).

Here’s what we plan to get so far: -Arai Regent x helmets (they fit well) -good gloves with palm sliders -boots with ankle protection and good safety ratings

But I’m struggling with the jackets. I was originally looking at the Rev’it Eclipse 2 jackets, but they are only single A; C1 rated. Since we’ll be doing some highway riding I’m thinking we need at least AA C2 with back and possibly chest armor.

Living in Utah it probably wouldn’t hurt to just get a bigger jacket that will be good for 3 seasons.

If my budget is up to 500-600 per jacket. What do you all think would be the best option? Safety being the priority)

Thanks for the input!
