I'm not a big fan of riding in the rain, but it happens - and I like to be prepared. After reading Nanci's review, I bought the Shower's Pass Elite Jacket too. I wore it on a very rainy ride on my recent trip to Downeast Maine - and I ended my ride dry and comfortable (except for the lakes in my shoes, that is!). I'd say that this jacket was a great purchase for me.
