I doubt anyone reads this newsgroup anymore, but I'll try anyway.

My 15 year old Bernoulli Gore-Tex jacket from MEC is finally worn out. I 
got a lot of good, heavy use out of it. If MEC still made it I'd buy 
another one in a heartbeat. But they're long gone.

I don't like a lot of the current offerings of cycling jackets. They 
look too heavy, to bulky, and appear to have inadequate ventilation (no 
armpit zippers) and I can imagine overheating in them. I have tried some 
of the fabrics (Entrant et al) on other clothing and I still prefer good 
old real Gore-Tex.

I can't find any Gore-Tex cycling jackets in Vancouver anymore. Can 
anyone help?
