November 26, 2008
I was looking for a waterproof-breathable that looked good in the city. I almost found it. The sleeves are too short if, like me, you're planning on riding a bike with it. Otherwise, the fit is fantastic. The breathability is very good, and the ingeniously placed vents rock. Its downfall is that the seams at the cuffs and hem are not taped, and thus leak water during serious downpours. If you're never going to see rain, run, don't walk to get this jacket, you won't regret it. Otherwise, perhaps you might want to find a jacket that has 100% of its seams sealed.
