My Montane featherlite velo does all these things, so is an excellent alternative to the pear izumi elite
That was the other, cheaper option. I liked the fact it was so packable and the elasticised, long back was really good. The thing that stopped me was just that I had a similar jacket for hiking in and it tended to just stick like a wet bag when it does get wet. Plus, the PI elite jacket has zip off arms which is like gadget geek bonus points, even if I never use it.
We'll see how it goes. If in a week I'm riding in a soggy sweaty POS then you'll know not to buy one next time you need a jacket.
