I've never worn an elite, but I do have a touring version which does not have this problem.

Good question. I have the same jacket with the same problem, and Kyle at Showers Pass admitted to me that is defective material. They switched from a rubberized material to a neoprene material without actually testing if the neoprene shed or absorbed water.

Interestingly Kyle also told me that this is the first that they have heard of the problem. I wonder if the OP notified them about it or not?

I have a thread on it here: https://www.bikeforums.net/trash/439780-showerspass-elite-2-0-owners-do-you-also-have-cuffs-soak-water-like-sponge.html

ekitel they're ribbing you pretty hard. And your still hanging in there!!

We know your mad at your jacket. THanks for your opinion, but some people don't like Brooks and they are the ultimate target!!!

Now let all use this forum as a place we can all learn about what we love, touring!!

Best, John
