Rain jacket?

[chicago]

I will say this... I have been in one too many rainstorms.... and this jacket is the best. It is alot of $$$... but honestly, it keeps you dry and warm.

I have a Shower Pass jacket that I picked up a couple of years ago on the clearance rack at my LBS. I can't remember the model name to save my life, but I love it. Protective enough that I sometimes use it as my everyday rain jacket if it's not too cold out. (I live in Seattle, to give you a frame of reference for weather.)

I know TE carries at least one of the models. They aren't inexpensive, but they're worth the price, in my opinion.

One of my racer friends swears by the Pro Tech jacket by Showers Pass. I don't have any experience with it, and I think it might only come in a men's cut, but here's a link: http://www.showerspass.com/catalog/m...ts/pro-tech-st

I have a rain jacket I bought for hiking made of Gore-tex Paclite that is lightweight, very packable, and waterproof. It was pretty pricey though has been totally worth it to me, and I'll have it for a long time. It's made by Outdoor Research. I would definitely recommend Gore-tex Paclite, though I bought this jacket about 4 years ago now, so there may be something even higher-tech/better now in rain gear. At the time, it was top of the line.

I have a bright orange showers pass rain jacket that is ventilated in the back, packs into its own pocket and fits in my jersey pocket. I suggest it highly.
