I decided to replace my touring jacket this year. After research I was satisfied that the Showers Pass Refuge Jacket was the best option. They were very helpful finding the right size making an exchange without charging for postage. I haven't been caught out in the rain yet, but here is my review to date. The Refuge Jacket is very well made, and very well thought out. I am particularly interested in seeing how the core vents work as opposed to pit zips that seemed to work more like a funnel.
