Showers Pass

Great wet weather protection with cycling in mind. There�s a reinforced seated area, reflective material, pockets, and even a way to tighten the material around the ankle to lessen the likelihood you�ll catch the pants in your chain. Only improvement I would make would be on the last point. I wish the fastener was not Velcro, but maybe snaps or some other attachment apparatus to make it more secure. But, this isn�t a knock on the pants, they work very well and I would definitely buy them again. I now look at Showers Pass as a brand I would depend on.

I specifically bought this rain jacket for my 500 mile bike ride on the Camino de Santiago, Frances Route, in mid-spring though northern Spain. It worked well through the cold, rain, hail, wind and a combination of all the above. With a tee shirt and a medium thick merino wool base layer, I never felt any biting cold on my arms or chest. I also used a merino buff to cover my face when the cold wind whipped up. I can easily recommend this jacket for cycling in rain and 30F to 60F temperature range.

This jacket is extremely versatile. Blocks the wind completely, yet breathes while you're exerting yourself fully. Waterproof. Fits is a little roomy so that many layers can be worn in extreme cold. Very well constructed. All zippers and velcro very durable. Nice high collar to keep neck warm. Plenty of pockets for keys, phone, nutrition. Back of jacket hangs low enough to defend against wheels spray. Purchased on sale as Bike Tires Direct offers. Great service and communication with BTD.
