Can anyone recommend a loud safety jacket?

I know that there are a TON of safety jackets out there, but I guess I was hoping you more experienced folks could point me toward something that would fit my needs:

- I ride hard (for me) in urban traffic, and thus I get really sweaty. It's Southern LA, so it's about 75 degrees all the time (hurray for biker weather!) I'm thus kind of afraid of any nonbreathing fluorescent gear.

- I ride during the daylight hours, when cars don't use their headlamps. So I want something that'll be seen during the bright hours, not just with reflectors (although nothing wrong with those, too!)

- Since I sweat so much, I'd rather not have to buy like 5 of these for every weekday due to stinkiness. Hopefully one really lightweight outer layer that doesn't cost too much, so I can perhaps get two if for I do laundry.

- Compact is key. I have to stash this thing in my workbags all day.

Thanks
