I use the lighter-weight Endura Luminite for temps from about 55°F down to about freezing. Then the Gridlock comes out. The Gridlock isn't a winter jacket per se, it's just that I ride hard and run hot.

As for re-waterproofing, I just use Camp-Dry, about $8 a can at Dick's. One can gets me several treatments over a couple of years.
Not bad on the Luminite. And thanks for the Camp-Dry suggestion. I did a quick search on it and it seems to get good reviews.

Needs more hood!


Here I am in my new coat! I'm going on a backpacking trip this weekend and I'll be bringing it along. I hope it rains a little so I can try it out



Btw, for fitting purposes, I am 6'1" 190 lbs and a large fits nicely. I have room to layer if I want and it's not too baggy as is.
