I've cycled throughout a number of continents over 20 years and am on a second pass down through the Americas right now. Can say without a shadow of doubt that my refuge jacket is the best and most loved item I have and the best rain/shell I've ever owned. Light yet durable. Vented. Very comfortable. The rear flap is very useful too. Mine is red so added safety element there. Just great. Six-stars. Buy it.
