Showers Pass Portland jacket.

Just received a shipment of Showers Pass Portland jackets.  The Portland is a stylish on/off bike jacket.  Featuring bike specific features like hidden pit zips, a fold down rear reflective flap for rain/wind protection and visibility, and adjustable tapered sleeves, this jacket is great for the urban commute or a night on the town.  With a casual cut and standard fleece-lined pockets the jacket is well suited for hanging out at the coffee shop, a couple drinks at the pub and the ride to or from in cold rainy weather.

Brown plaid color.

The Portland is the do everything commuter jacket that you aren't embarrassed to be seen in.  Available in brown or beige both colors have a distinctly slick look with a subtle plaid pattern.  The jacket comes with a baselayer laminated into the inside most layer of the jacket for a warm touch and feel while acting as a moisture wicking layer to  keep you dry no matter the conditions.

Both bikeportland.org and Momentum Magazine gave the Portland very positive reviews.  Momentum Magazine picked this piece as their Editor's Choice casual bike jacket.

Jacket is available in men's and women's sizes in brown or beige plaid for men and "pretty plaid" (a gray color) for women.  The Portland retails for $199.99 and carries Showers Pass' excellent warranty.
