I got my raingear @ performancebike.com. There are stores in Portland (if you're around this area).

I've heard good things about Burley and Gore-tex, but they seem to cost an arm and a leg. Honestly, I just use nanaimo rain pants and a clear rain jacket (performance), and wear layers depending on the temp.
If you have the money to spend, you should probably go with more quality. Me? I'm cheap
see you on the forums
Hi Spokes,
Thanks for the input, I'll have to check out performance bikes. I live down in eugene so I'm not having much luck finding a jacket for under 100.00 bucks so I may make the trek northward. I could use the trip out of Eugene for a bit. You're right about the burley coats. I arm and some fingers to be exact. At least I have the commuter built now I just need to get the butt able to handle the saddle for 40 minutes. lol.
