    Wind/rain jacket suggestions?

    Hi all,
    I'm in the market for a new jacket. I'm narrowing it down but want to see if you all know of something I'm missing. Here are my criteria:

    • Cycling-specific
    • Wind and water-resistant (waterproof not necessary)
    • Good breathability
    • Pit zips!! - MUST have. I don't care how breathable something is, pit zips extend the range of a jacket in a way that works best for me.
    • MUST be a visible color - yellow, orange, or bright color (not red)
    • Fitted, NOT baggy/loose
    • As packable & light as I can get given the other criteria
    • Made in North America or as non-sweatshop as I can find

    My top contender at the moment is the Shower's Pass Double Century, though I'm worried about what looks like a looser fit and some reviews say sleeve length can be short...I'm tall (5'10") with long arms.

    What else should I consider/try? Thanks!!
