my brand new rapha jacket got a beating yesterday. rode the london to brighton solo in bib 3/4, short sleeve jersey and the rapha jacket. totally soaked. well, everywhere else but up top. i believe it is showerproof as it was 'beading' for the first half hour in the shower. dried up very quickly as well. did not sweat like a pig either....breathable?! dunno. but it does look cool. love the detail.
with all the positives, dont think id buy it myself. wife likes it...but then again buying sensibly is not her forte.
assos is a rip off. they're like rapha only slightly more technical...but a lot less in aesthetic dept. i like the ladies in bibs tho...they look cool...hehe
