I just bought an awesome lightweight orange Gore Bikewear jacket from Terry. To use Veronica's phrase, it was "wicked expensive," and I nearly sent it back because I had second thoughts. My husband told me to keep it. Anyway, I rode it today because rain was predicted. Light rain started after the first 5 miles or so---continued until it started pouring the last 7 miles (I rode 26 miles today. When I got home, the only places I was dry were what was under the jacket! It vented pretty well---definitely NOT a sauna, which surprised me. The design is wonderful. Pretty close fitting but not too close; long "tailored" butt cover to keep your tail dry from tire washup; velcro at the sleeves so you can custom fit at the wrist; plenty of reflective strips; and a beautiful bright orange color. My only beef with it is lack of pockets, but it's got this cool storage pouch -- about the size of a glasses case -- into which you can store it if the rain stops. It's the best rain jacket I've come across.
