KathiCVille The 2 way zipper is what allowed me to wear the SHowers Pass...but it was too big on top...all floppy...

I gotta say...I feel pretty hot in the Marmot Sharp Point (hot as in cool, not hot as in whew, open the pit zips) it fits really well. It breathes and with a few merino layers underneath could be perfect for cold drizzle....
It is wind stop and water resistant...

Maybe a packable rain poncho would be the ticket then if I were to really get caught in it....I don't forsee going out to ride in Heavey rain...Seattle/PDX Girls??

It's a really different proposition to stay warm in the NE than it is to stay warm and DRY in the NW!

So what am I gonna do when I have all the clothes I need, 2 bikes with all the right stuff...I guess I'll just have to ride instead of shop!!!
