I live in Portland, which is the home of Showers Pass. A couple of weeks ago I shared part of my ride home from work with 2 guys who work for the company. I told them while I love my Elite jacket, I've never bought the pants because I get too hot - even in the winter. I have a pair of
Rainmates, but they're not as waterproof as I'd like them to be. They told me that next year, Showers Pass will be coming out with their own version of Rainmates made out of eVent fabric. I'm really looking forward to having these be both waterproof and breathable:
