How waterproof is the Sharp Point? I've got a short (ten-mile) bike-ride in to work in New England. I've got unlined rainjackets (too cold sometimes) and warm non-water-resistant jackets (too wet sometimes). I'm thinking of picking this jacket up. I see it'll keep me warm and wind-protected, how ' bout dry?Thanks,Alex

I have been in some pretty nasty snow storms and never had a problem with water getting through. I have even had a pretty solid inch of snow sitting on it while we waited the storm out and it still did not leak. I have not been in rain much but it took the snow real well.

It's very water resistant and will keep you dry in a mist or light rain, but if it's really coming down in buckets, you're going to get wet eventually. It's solid--for a while--in anything short of a torrent, but it's only windstopper and fleece. If there's a nor'easter barreling through, I would not recommend a 10-mile bike ride in it.
