We finally got a decent rain.....

I'd got a Showers Pass Club Pro jacket and was itchin' to try it....works as expected. It "packs" smaller than my SP Transit and worked as well as the heavier jacket would have this morning. I've been sold on Showers Pass since I got the Transit. It is just a bit much to cart to work for an "in case it rains" situation. So.....I'd been thinking about a lighter jacket for "maybe" days. Thinking maybe $50-75 for something. The Club Pro would be perfect but I wasn't looking to spend that much.

Here's the deal:
If you're like me---a little guy, dwarf, midget, runt or just plain skinny---Amazon.com has the Club Pro for less than thirty bucks!!!! If you can wear a small (medium in most jackets---it's a loose fit) and don't mine the "rust" color. If you want blue or yellow you're back to $115.

Small + Rust and you're good for the deal!!!

How long is your commute? And did you sweat a lot when wearing it?

I won't be testing my cycling jacket for a while, rain or no rain. Too hot and humid over here.

I can't avoid the humidity when I commute to work, whether it by bike or subway. When it's the latter, I still get a good dose of it walking between the subway station and the office. I could in theory commute by car but I hate being stuck in traffic even more than humidity, as well as paying for parking (no place to park for free here).
