Is this jacket good for rainy day rides?

I would say it is because it's a windbreaker material. I have not been in the rain with it yet.

yes it is! I was on a trip to Greenville SC. we got stuck in the rain and none of my stuff got to wet. I also wear it around everywhere and sweat with it on. it's been really awesome! I may upgrade to one of the larger ones but this particular bad is amazing!

I live in Portland and ride often in the rain. I have not experienced any moisture related issues

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

I haven't used it in tropical weather but I have in snow and light rain. As long as there isn't any holes it will keep you dry. It doesn't zip closed around your head. Instead it overlaps and has velcro. There is a chance for a few bugs getting in but not many.

Hi, I've ridden through a light drizzle a number of times. No issues thus far. Hope it helps

Depends what you mean by that, if you have a torrential downpour then no, but if a little bit of rain then yes. We also have the hardshell travel cases if you wants something seriously tough.

Very well. I ride in the rain and have kept it outide during rain. Battery is fine.

Not bad for waterproof in light rain even though it's only fabric. Buy the rain cover for better protection. the panniers take quite a bit of space when full. We wouldn't be able to put another carrier on as they get quite fat.

I have ridden under light and heavy rain and it works properly! But I avoided pushing the buttons... just in case!

Yes it is...tried this jacket in heavy snow in Europe last year and heavy rain in Costa Rica...no issues at all...

Not a definitive answer, but I ride in the rain daily out here in Oregon with no issues.

It's not listed as waterproof but I would wear it in the rain, just makes sure the vents are closed.

Sorry, I can't answer that. My husband rides his bike for a hobby. He does not ride when it is raining. We get far less rain in Texas so it has never been an issue. I hope someone else can answer your question. Best regards

I would say yes. I didn't try it yet under heavy rain, but the fabric seems to be water resistant. However, the zippers might play a big role in this, by keeping it watertight.

It is constructed of a hard plastic - so rain would not be problem except for the non-slip padding on the top. It would probably wear more quickly in the sun/rain, etc.. Unsure about stability in strong wind.
