Hey, I did ride in with my Gill in the rain a few times. They are $130 at Performance, but I got mine on a 20% off sale (plus 10% Team Performance), so it was about $100.
Mostly I'm pleased with the jacket. I'd recommend it. Only niggle is that I wish the cuffs were bigger to funnel air through the sleeves. The times I've worn it, my forearms have gotten sweaty. The rest of me is fairly comfy; I regulate with the pit vents.
It keeps the rain out; it's seam sealed and all. Drawcord at the neck and waist.
Also, it's grey on the back which is kind of lame for visibility. So you might want to put a reflective mesh vest on over it. Or run a blindingly bright rear blinky...
