I think that you should learn about outdoor gear and how it's tested via the links I posted and not complain about my posting style for two posts in a row without bringing any valuable information to the discussion.
GORE bike is another brand that you may not have heard of and they're worth checking out as well as their gear is solid.
It's true, even I know about the Showerspass brand even though there's no way I'm spending 200 - $300 that they want for a rain jacket. I'll just use a $15-$20 "resistant" jacket when it's warm, or $2 rain cape when it's cold.
