All-

Apologies for posting here, but where else could I get such good advice??

DH just got a new job, and he will be able to bike commute every day (and plans to do so rain or shine). Yay!! One less person depending on a car to get to work... We're in NC, so we rarely have really brutal weather. However, he will need rain gear. He has a rain jacket, but I want to get him a cycling specific one (his regular one needs replacement anyway) and some rain pants.

Does anyone have an opinion on the Showers Pass Elite 2.0 for men versus the touring jacket? I'm thinking the touring model might be preferable for commuting because the fit is looser. I'm also thinking of going ahead and getting the hood.

Also - most importantly - I can't find the rain pants in stock in a medium anywhere!!! Anybody have any ideas??

I would also welcome suggestions if you think there are other rain clothes out there for the guys that would be preferable (I don't think Burley is still making them, but could be wrong...)

Many thanks,

CA
