Is there anything else available that is lightweight (read cooler) but will still give some protection in the event of a crash? I'm not fussed about waterproof as I can throw a thin oversuit in the panniers.

Yes. There are suits available now with mesh panels built in which let the wind straight through.Triumph do one which looks quite good. Also, dare I mention it here, BMW does one.
Thinking of BMW, their "Rally" suit is good. Lots of zips to open to let the wind through. Comes with a removable Goretex liner. Down side is that you have to strip completely to put the liner in should it start to rain :???: BMW design at its best.
Also try Hein Gericke.
