I like the Touring for its durability, lots of reflective piping and striping, and great ventilation. You can really beat the snot out of it without doing it any harm. I crumple and pack mine in a Carradice bag, and sleep on the ground (concrete and gravel!) during brevets. It's dirty, but there's no damage to it at all.
