best rain coat

[mimitabby]

Is Burley the only raincoat that is waterproof and yellow?
I hate the yellow of that coat, i'd rather something flourescent, but
I MUST have waterproof.

Thanks

I bought the Showers Pass Elite jacket earlier this year. I'd prefer a screaming yellow color, but this jacket only comes in orange. I find it interesting that it has a loop to attach a light to the back, nice.

It is waterproof - and yes, I have used it in heavy rain.

I didn't see that one, and so far, I like it better than the burley, THANKS

Great jacket! And Showers Pass is a local, small company.

I own the Showers Pass jacket TE sells. I have worn it in 60 degrees and rain, down to 11 degress. I would not ask for a better jacket and was worth every penney. It is the only jasket I wear.

I have had this jacket for years and years and its great. Its really waterproof with the goretex, it has a detachable helmet cover, and pit zips so you don't overheat if it is both hot and wet out. They only have it left it one color and size, but the price is amazing if its what you are looking for.

Mimi,
I laread mentioned my love for this jacket:http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=17125

It is a deeper colour, fits wonderfully, I ran in monsoon rains and stayed dry,

It is very reflective. I light up like a Christmas tree. Oh, there is a hook on the back. The cool bliky light you gave me ( I cannot find another one anywhere-O desperately want to buy more) I velcro that on and off I go running.

The price was steep for my budget, but very worth it. This jacket keeps water out and is not steamy from sweat, ect.

Mey you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

[Bikingmomof3]

Thanks Denise. I will give those a try.

Mimitabby,

I hope you enjoy the jacket. I've been riding in the Showers Pass jacket for the past few weeks and I much prefer it over my Gore Jacket. The eVent fabric breathes better and with the pit zips, mid-back venting, and the ability to loosen up the cuffs, I find the ventilation to be excellent.

I also appreciate the reflectivity.

Jennifer -
If you're looking for another blinky light to wear, I really like the Firefly Supernova lights from roadid.com. I wear them when I'm walking at night (I can clip one on the loop of my Showers Pass jacket), and I've had a number of people stop me and tell me how mcuh the lights helped them to see me.

oops, sorry, I have bad reading comprehension today after a late night
sweeping water down the drain... If you want the same light, I can go back to that LBS and get one. But try what Denise suggests.
