I have the J+G waterproof breathable jacket. I've had it for almost two years. Two Portland Or, winters. I find it too warm to wear above maybe 50F. Over all I like the jacket, but I wouldn't recomend it for warmer weather. On the other hand, it's the only rain jacket I've had (I've only been cycling for just shy of two years.), so maybe it's as good as it gets. I don't have anything to compare it to. I keep reading threads like these with interest hoping to find a jacket more suitable to fall and spring myself. I may have to break down and try that Showers Pass Elite, but dang it's expensive.
