On that note, I also owned a Showers Pass Elite 2.0 and it was an excellent jacket. Good ventilation, decent breathability and excellent water resistance.
I bought a Stratos not long ago - they're on sale (guess closing them out). It's a great jacket though sort of niched; great down to about 30F and above 50F it's too hot. Based on conversations in
this thread I just bought a neoshell jacket from
Foxwear. This stuff is amazing - very windproof and more breathable than the stratos. I've been using it in the 15-25F range and it's perfect. It's supposed to be good into the 50's - I'm ready to find out soon! Call Lou at Fox at Foxwear
