So it really depends on how you ride and where you live.
Mind telling me where you bought your Elite 2.1? I started riding to work last week, and we're already getting rained this week. Today wasn't bad at all, but I should prepare for the worse days. Thanks!
[EDIT] Nevermind. Looks like REI carry them. They also have other jackets like Canari and Novara, which run much cheaper than the Elite. I'll go over there this evening to check them out.
