>Waterproof to 10,000mm, breathable to 10,000g/m2/24hrs
• Lined 2-layer construction
• Fully seam-sealed
• YKK zips throughout
• Front double storm-flap
Ride safe,

And I recommended the
Endura Gridlock jacket that Jeff bought last week. I'm starting my third winter with mine. Although it needs a wash, it shows no signs of wear.
It's my outer layer whenever it's below 50 or so. I commute straight through the Upstate winter with it, just adding and subtracting layers underneath it as the day warrants.
I had today off and rode to lunch and back with a friend. Thirty-two at the start and 54 at the end, all day on the bike, with only one layer beneath the jacket. It has great latitude.
Pit zips, a shoulder vent in back, the cuffs are stiff enough you can brace them open with the velcro to keep your arms cool and dry, and the rear pocket holds my U-lock.
