My tattered and ripped MEC Bernoulli Gore-Tex jacket is ready for retirement after 12 years of heavy use. I see that MEC has discontinued Gore-Tex in their cycling jackets, and is now using Entrant EV and DT fabric instead. I have tried these fabrics before and still prefer Gore-Tex. So who is still making good Gore-Tex cycling jackets and where in Vancouver can I get one? TIA. -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

I would try the Sugoi factory outlet store, Taiga works, or one of your local bike shops. I think the quality of MEC's cycling gear has dropped, also their designs have less reflective stripping.
