Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2009 3:45 pmI don't believe in/can't afford a "breathable" rain jacket, so I went with one that ventilates really well.
The has pit zips that go all the way down. "Bicep to Hem" they call it. Has nice big front pockets and good backside coverage. It feels windproof. No insulation (pro for riding a bike I think).

Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2009 4:35 pmDo you want a rain jacket for the normal Seattle drizzle, or one that handles maybe moderately alright, average at best downpours?
For the former my preference is the Ibex Breakaway/Dash Hybrid/emacs (they keep changing the name). It's spendy, but I'm sure it will be in the Ibex Outlet (http://www.ibexwear.com) by the spring.
The O2 wear paperish jackets work surprisingly well for when there is an actual downpour. They are $40.
I have a hardly used Burley rain jacket that I'd sell for $60. It's been used about 2 or 3 times. These were the gold standard for bike rain jackets but stopped being made a few years ago when Burley just about went under. Pretty similar to the popular Shower's Pass models out there now, since Shower's Pass just copied the Burley design. It's a mens medium but very roomy on me (5'10", 190lbs). I think it is eVent fabric, but I could go look at the label and see. I paid $150 or more for it.
