I was looking for a plain design touring jacket. This jacket meets all my needs and is an extremely stylish jacket. It is not Goretex but it has its own patented system called AWS and is as successful as Goretex. It is sold as 4 seasons but you cannot wear it above 25 degrees. I have not tried it in rainy weather yet. I am thinking of using it with a raisuit due to the spray effect coming from the vehicles.
