Quantity: 

The ultimate rain jacket that also works well in cool dry weather. Designed to maximize ventilation options so that the user can adapt to changing terrain and environmental conditions with 7 venting options. The cuffs that have a gusset and special lycra fabric that can be opened to scoop cooling air up the arms and out the back vent. Two 7" (18 cm) pit zips can be opened for added ventilation as needed. The front zipper can be opened from the bottom as well as the top. This bottom pull zip allows the wearer to regulate temperature of the lower back without turning your jacket into a parachute. The back vent works with these six front vents to move hot air away from the body - keeping you cool prevents sweat build-up on climbs and when you are working hard. Waterproof and breathable.

5 Stars Solid
by DM from Columbus, OH USA on Dec 8, 2009
  Well...not solid. This jacket breathes well in warm and wet conditions. And ripe with great design details. Paired with my Showers Pass pants, this is my go-to jacket. Breathes much better than my old Endura (which I still use on very cold days for less strenuous rides). Recommended.

5 Stars Best Jacket in 20 years?
by Chris Casebolt from Boulder, CO on Jun 11, 2009
  I've owned a Peformance Gore-Tex cycling jacket for nearly 20 years -- used it for cycling and skiing, and loved it. The fit was long, the arms were very long (great for cycling and skiing), and the Gore-Tex held up for a long time. It was perfect. I think I now have my replacement. What I like about the Showers Pass Elite 2.0: great windblock for cold Spring mornings (often just wear a short-sleeved jersey underneath on 50 degree mornings; excellent venting options with pit vents, unzipping front zipper a bit, and even by opening up the cuffs, letting air come up the arms; great rain coat -- wore it in a pouring storm and stayed dry underneath. Napoleon pocket is perfect sized for a cell phone or a bit more. Looks great, and the reflective fabric is bright. Exceptional. Pricey, but worth it. Can see this being my next 20-year jacket. Actually thinking of buying an extra to keep for when (if?) this one wears out.
