How's the water-resistance on it? We don't get much rain here, but when we do it can come down hard.
The wind-blocking fabric in front is somewhat stretchable, the rear fabric much more so. I haven't rode in the rain with mine, but today I dribbled water on it while drinking from my bottle, water beaded up nicely. When it really pours it doesn't much matter what you are wearing.
