I just spent $92 for my Foxwear jacket and that's for the shipping also. Custom made to fit, took less than two weeks from the time I ordered to the time it was delivered. I've used it with a thin coolmax base layer and medium weight fleece mid-layer on rides in the teens last week and was plenty warm. It handles wind just fine and even all the road spray I get hit with. I've worn it in light rain, snow, and very slushy roads and it repels just fine. It's also very breathable and Lou has a few options you can choose to help with the breathability.

Sleeves are long with elastic cuffs and fit over the ends of my gloves to give a warm seal on the long cold rides. I just wished I had thought to ask for a pocket in the back for my water bottle. All the salty road spray on my frame mounted bottles makes for a nasty drink.

I actually emailed back and forth with Lou for about a week describing my needs and he was very patient, responsive, and helpful. In terms of a basic jacket that works well I think you will be hard pressed to find a better deal.
