As breathable as a PVC jacket

By bykyrb Ranked #154 - Women's Rain Jackets November 7, 2008

I bought the men's version of this jacket, because I thought it would be more breathable than my PI jacket with a membrane fabric ("OxB"). It's not! This material does not breathe at all. It is waterproof, but you get wet from the inside out really fast. Save your money and buy a $20 vinyl or polyurethane jacket. BTW, there is no such thing as a waterproof "breathable" membrane for cycling - none of them transmit water vapor fast enough to keep you dry during prolonged aerobic efforts like cycling. You have to have ventilation. I'm waiting for a good eVent cycling jacket to come out - maybe that will work better.
