O2 3Flow Jacket??
https://www.beyondbikes.com/ItemMatri...mpaign=Froogle
Anybody have any experience with this jacket? I'm looking for a relatively inexspensive rain jacket. I sweat buckets and pit zips/ventilation are a must.
Any other sub 100$ suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

this is what i use.
it's lightweight, water/wind-proof, has a rear zip pocket, bottom drawstring, extended sleeves and back (great for cycling), and has "sweat-wicking" inner lining.
the fit is a bit loose and not as tight/aero, and even with the sweat wicking and back vent, i find myself wet from sweating even though i am dry from the rain.

Actually, the 02 jackets have a good reputation judging by the number of positive reviews. The one you are looking at is their top tier jacket. Its slightly heavier and, more for longer days in steady rain. They also have a club jacket which works well for typical event rides in wet weather, is lighter, but does not have pit zips (which I like too). Both have tails which is important on a true rain jacket for cycling. I would pass any jackets without this feature.
