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!

I *want* that Showers Pass jacket and the hood.
However, I don't *need* it.
(but I put it in my TE cart, for just in case)

I ordered Showers Elite jacket from TE and found the large too big and the medium perfect except for the snug raglan sleeves. Very well made made jacket with lots of great features. I'm still thinking about settling for the sloppy large size.

When I ordered mine, I ordered the small and the medium, returned the small. Hind sight is 20/20. Now I wish I had kept the small.
Do not get me worng, I love the medium, but it is a tad looser than I wold prefer.

The week I rode three days in mist, drizzle and/or dense fog. After reading Nanci's excellent review, I finally broke down and bought the Showers Pass jacket. I don't mind getting a little wet when it's warm outside, but when it's 40 degrees, forget it!
The reminds me, on my Christmas ride (it drizzled the entire time), my feet got soaking wet. Thanks to smartwool socks and a chemical toe warmer in each shoe, my feet stayed warm! Couldn't believe it.

well, it didn't rain today, but it was between 34-40 degrees for our entire ride. I wore my beautiful new raincoat today. It came right on time, it was waiting for me at the motel lobby when i arrived. I LOVE LOVE the color.
Except for not having the nice big pockets like my last raincoat (which was not waterproof), i love it!
