In 70+ temps I think your just gonna get soaked. Any waterproof will just be too warm at those temps. A thin wool base layer, and one of the microlight shells, with a drw coating to lessen the amount of water getting thru is probably best if the poncho doesnt work for ya.
the absolutely best jacket made and the trim fitting full-length zippered pants were tops too. let's both write an email requesting a comeback. the one point they could improve on, imo, would be changing to a lighter weight fabric. that beefy fabric is great for alpine gear, but what's the point on a bike?
their panniers are no longer available waterproof either.
i have heard that the serratus line was discontinued because their "built-in-canada" policy ended up being too expensive. as their operations move off-shore, i hope they'll stick closer to their old design standards than what i've been seeing of late.
