Review by Gary Massis
Green color with reflective accents - I am always visible.
Keep totally dry - the hood is snug, fits under helmet easily and adjusts easily.
Velcro sleeves seal out rain when tightened over gloves.
Regular fit is comfortable.
Waterproof from outside in and breathable from inside out.
Convenient, intelligently placed pockets.
I am a commuter- with this coat I can always plan to ride in the rain and save money on commuting costs

What a great rain jacket! This is a light jacket well-fitted for cycling, but it definitely can be useful off the bike as well. There are lots of thoughtful details including adjustable wrist, well-placed pockets, and a hood which can be worn under a helmet. These details really make the jacket and at price I got from BTD it was fantastic.
Review by Wheels Hubberth
I have used this jacket many time and I love it. It works great on the bike when it it really wet but also great for hiking, running or just to the store. It keep me dry. Does it breath like a 400 dollar Gore jacket ..... no but for the price this is a fantastic jacket. Plus you can use it for other activities . I like the hood, I don't have a problem with it when riding and it's great to have when doing other things. Runs true to size. Not a jacket for race day but for training can't beat it.

This is a nice jacket for light rain. It's full cut makes layering possible in cooler weather. It's light and packable too. If you need a jacket for a deluge go with GoreTex.

Have not used yet. Fits little large. feels like good heavy-duty material.
Review by kzippert
I love this jacket, it is bright and has a hood, which a lot of the shower pass jackets do not have. I wore this jacket in a kayak race in the rain, and stayed dry! Would definitely buy this coat again.

Does a good job of keeping off the rain, so customers complained of hood, but I found it to be quite useful in heavy rains, I put the hood on and my helmet over the hood.

Cycling, jogging, walking the dog. Works for me. It's much lighter than my old jacket without any real negatives. I like having a hood and the price was a major plus. I appreciate the inner and outer pockets.

My first reaction to this jacket is that it doesn't add a lot of warmth. That's not a problem because I can simply add more layers in cold weather. I'm suspecting that it's because of its breathability. I think it will become a big advantage when things warm up later in the year.
I tend to sweat a lot when I ride, so I have low expectations for staying dry with any jacket, but so far this jacket has done pretty well on rides. The hood is thin and works pretty well under the helmet. I've found this jacket works well for just walking around too.

A quality cycling jacket with great materials and workmanship. Big discount at BTD and that made it a great value. Attached hood fine for me
Review by Rainface
We got this jacket on sale to use not on the bike but for morning walks. It's a lightweight rain shell that can layer up for any temperature. The fit is nice. It vents appropriately. It's not noisy like some rain jackets. The price made it a deal to not pass up, the quality makes it a deal at any price.

I ride with a group on Tuesday's and Sunday's regardless of the weather. Living in Oregon it rains a lot so I wanted something to keep me dry. This jacket works better than I could imagine!

I particularly liked the hood which fit nicely under the helmet. Quality seam work and zippers.

Great Jacket in all aspects but the hood is a nuisance.
Review by Bike Penguin
Breathable, fits well, good freedom of movement. Pit zips. Reflective accents. All the stuff you'd want in a good rain jacket. That is except for ONE thing I hate. The hood! WTF?! No way to stash or remove the hood! Who puts a hood on a cycling jacket?
Review by Louis
This is a great jacket from Showers Pass. I use it for riding around town as well as in casual circumstances.

Very functional rain jacket. Never had a hooded cycling jacket before but this one has actually come in quite handy on cold rainy days. Most trips have been relatively short commutes (under 10 miles) so moisture build up inside the jacket hasn't been a big problem so far.
Review by Rowtoo
Fits well, breathes well. Have been wearing it skate skiing, so high aerobic to anaerobic and just a small amount of moisture on the inside after 90 minutes. Havent really needed to open the vents. The angled pockets can be tricky to zipunzip with one hand, but not used to the angle so Im pulling at the less-than-perfect angle. The hood is extraneous, but not in the way so far. Waterproofing seems great so far.
Review by Gabe
Only needs to zip up in it's own pocket, then it would get 5 stars. Waterproof in heavy rain, durable zippers, great seams.

Light weight - perfect for commuting in the PortlandVancouver area. Keeps me dry but not over heat on my rides.
Great visibility with the bright color.
