Endura makes excellent cycling clothing and this Gridlock jacket is a great example. I picked this up just after Christmas for commuting and the jacket has been great from 30 - 45F in rain and fog.

The Gridlock has pit zips, a mesh inner liner, velcro where you need it, reflective stripping, plus fleece around the collar. I got the high vis-yellow, it's super bright, perfect for low light conditions.

The Gridlock replaced an almost new Showers Pass club jacket and Showers Pass touring jacket. The Showers Pass jackets even with pit zips just don't breath enough and the Touring jacket is to stiff to be comfortable or compact enough to be considered pack-able.

For my needs, a jacket that would store easily in the pannier was also an important priority, the Gridlock fits this requirement.

The MSRP is $99 for the Gridlock, I picked this up from the LBS at 20% off. For cycling clothing, I considered that a bargain for a jacket of this quality.
