I am looking for an honest to god breathable rain jacket.Is XCR my best bet? I just moved to th Pacific Northwest, and am being hammered by the rain. I want something that will hold up on the trail and in town. I ride, as in cycle. to work about 4 miles each way which is more than enough time for my cruddy North Face jacket to not only get saturated outside, but completely drench me within. Not much fun at 6 a.m., nor in the woods.
I'm looking at Arc'Teryx Beta AR, and SL. They both have the features I'm looking for especially in the hood design.
Are there similar jackets from other brands?
