Ranked #2117 - Men's Rain Jackets
March 27, 2008
This is the greatest biking jacket there is! I live 6 months/year in the Odenwald hills near Heidelberg, Germany where it is often wet, and mountain biking includes lots of steep climbs. It keeps me dry in downpours, and all day misty rain, yet I don't overheat during the climbs. It comes down enough in the back to protect the butt and lower back from rear wheel splash too. My medium weighs in at 347 grams so it is always with me even on sunny days when sweating to the top of the hills, to stay warm cruising down the single trails. I'm 5'9", 155 lbs., slim and the medium is a perfect fit. Ride on!
