Showers Pass. Not much for pockets but excellent otherwise. I have three. An early one that has been abused and is long since "dead" for waterproof but is an excellent dry weather jacket. Next was the lined jacket. Great commuter jacket. It is holding up really well and is very close to completely waterproof. (Put on dry and I could probably walk under Niagra Falls, but it will saturate over time. Years later it is as good as new. Drawback - with its liner, it does not fold up small. Third jacket is a newish unlined jacket. Similar to the first but Showers Pass learned a lot between the two. (They make there stuff right here in Portland and most of them commute year 'round by bike wearing their stuff. It shows.)

Pluses - good vents, very well done cuffs with Velcro, two-way zippers! (so you can start the zipper bottom and have easy access to your jersey pockets AND keep rain/rear tire stream off your jersey). Very nice locking your bike up in a hard rain or grabbing that energy bay.
