We'll see how it works out once it arrives.
This arrived yesterday. It's very comfortable, stretchy, with a slightly longer hem in the back, so it's great for riding. I also put it on the sink and ran some water on it, and it did a great job at repelling it.

My only gripe: It's MUCH thinner than I thought it would be, which probably means it won't be a lot of help when it gets really cold. I'm still going to keep it, cause it feels like a great late fall / early spring type of jacket.

I might still be able to take it out on the colder days if I get some good, warm layers underneath. Only way to find out is to put it to the test.
