rain jacket reviews
I'm looking for information on the following rain jackets:
Jackson & Gibbons Craft Showers Pass. I've looked at their websites but I'm hoping for actual experiences. I have a Burley but the cut is not to my liking and I end up sweating too much on my 15 mile commute. |

You need something clear so your team kit will show through. Don't ever wear those silly jackets that are cut really long on the back and are purple or yellow, they make riders look like dorks. The less reflective crap on the jacket the better it is. |

They kinda look like those foldable plastic raincoats moms used to carry in their purses. Don't ever wear those silly jackets that are cut really long on the back and are purple or yellow, they make riders look like dorks. Bum flaps are redundant anyways, and too often get hooked on the back of the saddle. The less reflective crap on the jacket the better it is. Flashing LED beadwork might be interesting. cheers, Tom -- -- Nothing is safe from me. Above address is just a spam midden. I'm really at: tkeats [curlicue] vcn [point] bc [point] ca |

Now that it's the off season, I guess he'll have more time for hangin' around with the chics. Pay no heed to those provincials who lack the good sense to not base their lives upon your teachings. I don't think there's any worry about that. cheers, Tom -- -- Nothing is safe from me. Above address is just a spam midden. I'm really at: tkeats [curlicue] vcn [point] bc [point] ca |

If so a soft shell style of jacket will work much better in everything but a total downpour. In my experience when it's raining and you're active you have only two choices 1. Be wet and uncomfortable. 2. Be wet and relativeley comfortable. _ You have to figure out what works best for you. Some people swear by goretex and some people swear at it. Give up on being dry and work on being comfortable. _ Booker C.
