Is this jacket good for rainy day rides?

I would say it is because it's a windbreaker material. I have not been in the rain with it yet.

This jacket is completely waterproof, even in a downpour, I stayed dry. It did get too warm. The underarm vents are great for that though!

I would say yes. I didn't try it yet under heavy rain, but the fabric seems to be water resistant. However, the zippers might play a big role in this, by keeping it watertight.

Truthfully, I don't know. It doesn't rain much where I am and I try not to ride in the rain since bike has no fenders which causes stripe on back when riding. Tho it is very comfortable and keeps the cold out.

I can't say that it's waterproof, you'd have to rely on the manufacturer to answer that. But, I have ridden in the rain several times with no issues.

It wouldn't be the best, but it might work. Its not very packable. I have a Columbia Men's Glennaker Lake Rain Jacket for a windbreaker/light rain when I go fishing and think it would probably be better for you. Its VERY packable, actually has a pocket you can shove the whole jacket in to. Plus is has Omni-shield too.

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

Not bad for waterproof in light rain even though it's only fabric. Buy the rain cover for better protection. the panniers take quite a bit of space when full. We wouldn't be able to put another carrier on as they get quite fat.

I've ridden with my in the rain and it survived just fine. During one particularly heavy downpour during a long training ride I wrapped some cling wrap around it before attaching it to the bike but looking back I feel like that was probably unnecessary.

Hi, I've ridden through a light drizzle a number of times. No issues thus far. Hope it helps

it is not waterproof. it is a kind of fleece material so I think it is ok for light rain.

Yes, according to the manufacturer's specs. However, I have not done any riding in the rain to test this.

I haven't worn it in the rain but it says it repels water. The feel of the material on the outside would also lead me to believe that it would be rainproof

It works fine in the rain, It gets wet, but doesnt soak through very fast. I wear it pretty much from mid march to early october, . I run my Marathons in it.. You will wear it all the time once you get it. Just buy it, Nuff said.

This coat breathes better than any other lightweight WATERPROOF rain jacket I've owned. It does not breathe as well as a an autumn jacket, which may have a rain repellant finish. I would opt for a well made autumn jacket.

I have not used this backpack in the rain. But judging from the feel of the material I would say that it is not waterproof. It might be slightly water resistant.

yes it is! I was on a trip to Greenville SC. we got stuck in the rain and none of my stuff got to wet. I also wear it around everywhere and sweat with it on. it's been really awesome! I may upgrade to one of the larger ones but this particular bad is amazing!
