Agree that Shower's Pass stuff is quite pricey but that's the only issue I have with my Elite 2.0. it's very comfortable (not loose and flapping in the wind and not aero-tight fit either. . .for me, it's just right. Snug enough to not be a sail, yet layers well. Is waterproof, wind proof and as breathable as anything that meets that first category (waterproof) will ever be. Sleeves are cut long so they're just right when riding on the hoods, collar is high enough to be truly functional, is good with just a Craft base layer down to the mid '40s. . .The other SP hard shells are cut considerably looser, , ,way too loose for me . .but that's always a matter of body shape and personal taste.
