    I hate the yellow of that coat, i'd rather something flourescent, but
    I MUST have waterproof.

    Thanks
    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.

    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.

    Alas, none of those things fit me..... I've even tried on the Burley Rock Point jacket and found it wanting. I guess I'm going to have to get serious about using this here traffic cone orange WPB to make myself something. I'm gonna whine about having to use seam sealant though, the stuff's a pain in the butt....

    Not yet. Our building is a little behind schedule (our windows are late, and without windows, the electrician can't run copper and the drywall guy can't hang drywall, etc...). Sigh. We're currently scheduled to move in the 3rd week of March.

    We will have a "will call" for local customers. You'll be able to place your order online and pick it up the next day.

    Looking forward to meeting you!

    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.
