Pearl IzumiMen's Elite Escape Barrier Jacket(Return to Product Page)

I have always found waterproof rain jackets to too hot and clammy and water resistant jackets to be not very resistant. This seems to be a very good balance. Wore it recently on a 3 hour ride which was windy, drizzly and rainy, sunny and overcast . The jacket performed very well. The two way zipper may seem like a small detail but is great at ventilating when you have a bit of rain- simply put your chest is covered while the lower part is open. If you're on the fence, this may be a good choice. I am 6'0 175 and the xlarge fits nicely over a long sleeved jersey.

Amazingly warm for so light a jacket! Cuffs are a little loose on my wrists, but otherwise great fit.

Excellent quality jacket with the fit and features I will use for a long time. It is a little lighter weight than I expected, but Ive layered with a thermal jersey and found it to be fine

Light weight perfect for warm seasonal rain

I like to wear this jacket for bike rides on cool days that call for a thin-but-snug outer layer. If the temp climbs, I can stuff it into the integrated zipper pouch and stow it in my jersey. Just the right weight for spring and autumn in the Pacific Northwest.
