Amazon, that jacket is very pretty and looks functional, but I wouldn't wear it (and I love REI).
Why? Visibility. In the rain, it's usually darker and gloomier out, and you'll be hard to see in that color. When I am driving my car, I am amazed at the number of cyclists wearing dark colors, and they are very hard to see - I am sure they have no clue of this. I see that this jacket has a bit of reflective piping, but not every driver in the rain has on his/her headlights. I go for bright screaming yellow in a rain jacket. Did it come in any other colors?

P.S. Sorry to be negative - just want you to be safe!
