I didn't make it on Thursday. It was just still too cold for me. However, I realized that what I need is a wind-stopping jacket and pants. My clothes are warm enough until a gust of wind goes by, and then all my heat is lost. The Pearl Izium jacket doesn't cut it. I went to the large branch of my LBS but they didn't have anything that fit me. I am short, with a shorter than average torso. The pants come up to my ribcage and the jackets are too long and boxy. I found a gore-tex windstopper jacket that I liked, but the person at the store told me that it wouldn't keep me warm in the rain. I've been looking for a month now and haven't found jackets or pants that fit me. I'm looking at reviews online, but they don't usually tell you whether they're good for women with short or long torsos.

If anyone has any recommendations for jackets or pants that block wind and rain I would be grateful.

Thanks!
