Canari Jacket Steam Room

[Selkie]

anything like one of these? (I'm also shopping... maybe I'll get a good jacket and still borrow the sleeping bag http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=11990

I have that one in red, and the fit is much more roomier than the orange Gore jacket. The Red one can get sauna-like and the tail cover isn't as nice (isn't as "tailored" and sometimes comes unsnapped when you don't want it to have it down). Also, the pocket-into-storage-compartment has all these straps that are very annoying if you try to dig something out of the pocket.

That said, it's an OK jacket and I found it good for riding in unclement weather when it was colder outside. The material is heavier than the orange jacket. Both jackets have their place in a gal's cycling wardrobe

Embarrassing gear-wh0re confession time:

I own both the red Goretex jacket and the mango Shower's Pass. I love both of them to death. The Red Goretex jacket has no pitzips and doesn't breath as well, but it is fabulous for very cold wet riding or serious torrential rain it is the only thing that will keep me truly dry. For all other rainy conditions from medium-cold to just cool to mild/warmish temperatures, the Shower's Pass jacket is the best. The pit zips are smallish but the huge back vent makes a big diff. Also, that eVent fabric is nice.
