It is hard to get motivated to leave the house in the rain without the jacket but it is warm. I think pit zips are vital to venting. I wish both jackets could zip up from the bottom. I think rain hits you more when riding a drop bar bike on the chest and shoulders and arms.
the windchill allows heat to evaporate and it hasn't been in a drenching rain. plus i ride slower in the rain because can hurt at 17-18 mph
Showers Pass jackets are good compromises between waterproof and breathable. That is why they are a popular choice.
In the warm-hot summer, sometimes not wearing a jacket and getting wet is the best choice.
