I'll tell what NOT to get. Craft Layer (Lager) 3 "performance" jacket. Supposedly wind and waterproof, which I assumed was true until my current cross-country bike tour. First day of heavy rain, I may as well have had no jacket at all. May have been better off without one (at the least the rain would have dried). Even all "buttoned/zipped up" as tight as possible in the Craft, it let water right through the fabric and I soaked through to the bone and started freezing with an hour or two. Forced me to stop to warm up and change clothes (and jacket).
