The best lightweight wind shell I've used is this from Voler: http://www.velowear.com/products/1010277PRTXSM.aspx
Very light, packable and durable for it's weight. They do the same basic jacket in several designs/colors--look for the mesh sides and reversable zipper which are key. (and which make it very breathable) Not waterproof, tho. And sized snug so size up for a roomy fit.

I am really appreciating this thread. Here in ATX we have had unusually cold and wet days. It is making my Texas blood feel thinner than it already is. I still have not mastered the "perfect" riding combo. But, I am gathering some great ideas here. For one, I realized recently that I need more of a light shell instead of the outer layer of the parka I have been wearing. The trickiest part seems to be figuring out how to dress warm enough, but not sweat so as to not end up with the chills later as I start to cool down.

What do you wear on top in the cold and/or wet? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
