The SP Touring jacket is made of waterproof non-breathable material. It relies completely on venting to keep you cool and dry, rather than expensive WP/B fabric. It breathes very well by being loose fitting, with a large back vent flap (like the Elite). The sleeves are loose fitting (Elite sleeve are tighter), and if you leave the cuff straps open you'll scoop air down your arms and pits and back as you ride. The pit zips are very long (45cm) on the Touring jacket, and the front zipper is a double slider type (like the Elite) so you can open the bottom and the top. The Touring jacket is a copy of the once popular Burley Rock Point jacket. Burley reorganized their business, discontinued apparel and recumbent bikes product lines, and SP stole the design, made minor modification and "created" the Touring jacket.
