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? -- K.

Gore-Tex Pro shell (Gore's best), big pit zips, big vent at the back. Snap off hood, lots of featues. I love it. It's the shiznit. Cost $300 but well worth it. -- K. Lang may your lum reek.
