I have several Showers Pass jackets. The lined and not so packable Events plus a lighter and easy packing jacket. Both are excellent. The second requires care or I will tear the waterproof inner fabric but in return, it stuffs easily into a jersey packet. The lined Events is a super bad weather commuter.

Both jackets are very rider friendly and have a feature that not having is a deal breaker for me - two way zippers so I can stuff my jersey pockets with stuff I want dry, zip the jacket up and get to the stuff in the pockets without fully unzipping the jacket. (It sucks when you have to unzip your jacket and it is pouring, just to get to an energy bar or the key to your lock.) They also have good armpit vents and cuff details.

In short, Showers Pass jackets are made by riders who rid in the rain on a regular basis and it shows. (One poster says no handwarmer pockets is a deal breaker. I'd like a mesh outside pocket to put soaking wet gloves in when I go into a store.)
