I've had this jacket for maybe 2-1/2 seasons, and the material is no longer resistant to water infiltration in a heavy downpour while biking . In just 20 minutes,my arms and shoulders are drenched. I commute every day of the week in Portland, and quality gear is everything. Showers pass has made some great advancements in their zippers, but the weakest link is the Elite fabric - it just doesn't last. I would expect a jacket that I pay this much for, to last a bit longer. Sad to say,this may have been my last Showers Pass purchase.
