Does anyone have any experience with either of these jackets?
Here are my criteria:
1) Must work for cross country trips in all kinds of weather. This means decent ventilation and the ability to wear a Gerbing heated liner underneath. I do have a rain jacket, but water resistance is a huge plus.
2) Must not make me look like a pregnant hobbit. This is tougher, as I am 5'1".
Any experience with these?
