33 degrees this morning I used my older jacket (Performance bike soft shell) to see how it did in the similiar temps vs my newer Night vision rain jacket. I was definitely cooler and cold at some points but I think that vented much better when I was warm and it kept me from feeling swampy/ sticky under the rain coat. I do know that the rain coat blocks a lot more wind and in turn keeps me warmer. I was toasty last week. THe rain coat is supposedly breathable but not all that breathable. I am not sure which is the best yet, but it is nice to have options. I hope I do get some more riding in this week. I am already above Novembers mileage. i like the brightness of the rain jacket for the ride home. LOTS more reflective and built in light

It felt good to ride especially when I rolled past my car which I would have had to scrap it off.
