Another vote for Showers Pass. It keeps me dry, but more importantly... it makes me look thin.

What's it like in terms of light weight packing on a several day tour? Is it heavy? Can it roll up small like some of the rainresistant/windbreakers to fit in a saddlebag?

it is very light indeed. It would roll up nicely and fit into a size of two fists, I would say.

I also agree that the Showers Pass jacket is awesome! I have the slightly older version of the one TE sells (it looks the same but the names are different) and I love it. My husband and I both ordered them and when they arrived, I was convinced the order was screwed up because the envelope was way too light to be 2 jackets. I was wrong! The jacket is extremely light, totally waterproof, and when worn with insulating layers, kicks butt as a winter windbreaker as well. It'll roll up amazingly small, too.

UK Elephant borrowed my Novara Conversion jacket for a ride in the rain here at Xmas. I've liked the jacket but hadn't tried it in the rain. She said it worked perfectly, kept her dry, ventilated and warm all at once, fit well over a fleece sweater, good range of motion, good length. It's reasonably priced too. http://www.rei.com/online/store/Prod...HP_CYCLING_TOC

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
