I am looking for waterproof outer shell jacket with vents and a HOOD. First Gear offers what seems to be a new version of its Kilimanjaro jacket with a waterproofing they claim rivals Gore Tex called 37.5.
Does anyone have that jacket? and if so was it money well spent? I want a waterproof jacket with a hood and armor.
I am done with: carrying rain gear; pulling off on some exit and getting half soaked trying to get the gear on, that is if there is an exit nearby while either riding roads with no shoulder to pull off on or roads where you get ticketed for pulling off on the shoulder if it is not an emergency; or sweating my ass off wearing non-vented rain gear just in case those overhead clouds decide to open up.
Thanks.
