Bikes: Co-Motion Cappuccino Tandem,'88 Bob Jackson Touring, Co-Motion Cascadia Touring, Open U.P., Ritchie Titanium Breakaway, Frances Cycles SmallHaul cargo bike. Those are the permanent ones; others wander in and out of the stable occasionally as well.

I have not tried this one but I have and can highly recommend the Arc Teryx Atom jacket. It is comfortable in a wide range of temperatures, water repellent for a drizzle, warm and light. Also packs small and extremely comfy and is very versatile even off the bike. When winter hits I never take mine off for I swear 4 months. Wear it around the house, in the office, and biking too. I have 3 of them in the same size because I hate to be without even when one is in the laundry. I wear a waterproof bike shell over it when it gets down to 20ish, and sometimes wear a layer under it or over it as appropriate. It is becoming a very popular jacket which is a good measure of its versatility and comfort. Same style has been in production for about 5 years or more which is another testament to its popularity. I stay from the obscure stuff that has not been proven with popularity and longevity in the market.
