I have 3 Showers Pass jackets. One is more than 10 years old, unlined. I treated it poorly, ripped up the barrier and now use it as the best non-waterproof cycling windbreaker I have ever had. Second (edit: the "Events" jacket) is close to 10 years, lined, and still nearly as good as new. (With the lining, it isn't your answer. It does not pack small. But the lining does mean that it take far more abuse. My regular commuting jacket. Hundreds of rides.) Newest is about 3 years old. It is an unlined replacement for a similar jacket that had zipper issues. I walked into Showers Pass with the jacket; they handed me a new one. I have stayed dry in some very heavy rains wearing each of the two newer jackets.

All three jackets are a pleasure to wear. They work very well on the bike and the details are very well thought out Gripes are very minor. (I would like to see mesh pockets on the outside so I had a better place than a jersey pocket to put soaking wet gloves when I went inside at say a coffee stop.)

Many employees and the owner of Showers Pass ride year 'round in Portland. It shows in both in their products and service commitment.
