Care Guide

We recommend washing your rain gear regularly relative to use to ensure extended performance.

Hand or machine wash in cool water with a detergent designed for outerwear. Avoid fabric softeners.

Hang dry or tumble dry low. Avoid excessive heat. Seam tape can fall apart in a dryer, and it is not a pretty sight.

Great fabric, nice bright colors and nicely waterproof. I miss the double zipper (zips open from the bottom also) from my last Showers Pass jacket.

Terrible jacket. I wouldn’t buy another. No bottom up zipper, stiff, no armpit vents, and they fail at 2 years. Not worth the expense.

Love this jacket. Love the colors, especially, but the fit is great. I'm 5'4" so it's not too long. I love that it velcros on the wrists and the zippered pockets. Great design for velcro-ing the hood into the collar. I just can't get the hood comfortably over my helmet. But the jacket alone is definitely a keeper.

So waterproof and breathable. Serious jacket for serious Oregon downpours

Lightweight, yet does the job well. It is a shell, so don't plan on this being your one and only layer when it's cold outside. However, as a rain cover and a windbreaker, this is the perfect jacket. I had a warm layer underneath while I was riding in 48 degree farenheit weather and I felt warm. As for fit, it fits perfectly to the dimenstions as described on the website. Also, I love the color!

My first use was biking 24 miles in the rain. I got some spray from passing vehicles too. Stayed dry and warm. Jacket didn’t feel clammy. Great so far.

The Elite 3 is brilliantly designed, and is as pretty as a cycling jacket can be. According to the size chart I'm XS and bought a size S. The fit is just right with a base layer and warm cycling jersey. Shoulders are big too, which hard to find in women's gear. The high collar is uncomfortably stiff but otherwise it's a great jacket
