Reviving this for the moment.
I've been thinking of taking my bike out in December and riding when it's not icy/snowy/rainy. This will likely require me buying a jacket. Ideally, I'd like to spend $130 or less, and get something relatively warm and wind-resistant. Any ideas? I'd been looking at one from Foska (this, because it's awesome), but if I can avoid paying the $18 in shipping (not to mention the unfavorable exchange rate!) I'd love to. I'm not planning on going out in anything more than a drizzle, so I'm looking primarily for warmth, though a wind and water-resistant shell would be nice.
Edit:
While procrastinating last night, I came across some of last year's Pearl Izumi Gavia and Gavia P.R.O jackets. I can get the Gavia P.R.O. in a dark olive green for less than the regular Gavia, but it's a "please, run me over because I'm the same color as all the mud and bare trees!" color. Has anyone used one? What kinds of weather is it good for?
