Bellwether Screaming Meenie Jacket

If you're looking for a shell to keep the water off, this will do the trick. Perfect for those moments when you encounter an unexpected downpour because it's not heavy to carry or wear.

Cons Emphatically not machine dryable. Mine is now a crumpled ball of melted plastic. Doesn't breathe although the mesh armpits help a little

Pros Doesn't melt onto your other stuff when you spaz out and put it in the dryer. Rain positively bounces off. Fits in a jersey pocket with little effort.

And I'm buying another one, so that should tell you something.

If you're out riding in the pouring down rain, this cheap and I use that word with affection jacket will keep you warmer than any "high-performance" jacket.

No, it doesn't "breathe". It seals in your body heat and creates your own little greenhouse. Yes, you will be soaked, but if it's really raining, no jacket will keep you warmer than this little puppy.

No pockets, no frills, but low cost. Donn't like the look or feel of the material.
