I've got a vented Dainese with a removable waterproof liner/windlayer I love that might be right for the Gulf Coast. If I layer a fleece wind shirt under it, I'm good down into the low 50s/high 40s. Anything below that and it's car or electric vest.
I've got a pair of Dainese pants that it zips to that have big old vent flaps on the thighs.
The jacket/pants combo has a full set of pads and I added a more robust back plate.
You'll probably get lots of recommendations for Klim, Dainese and Olympia. The BMW stuff is pretty good and one of the best riding suits I ever had was a BMW Savannah (?) that had vents that started at my wrist and went most of the way up my arm. Open the back vents, the front vents and the arm vents and it worked really well. You may find one used, if you're cool with that. That's what I did.
