After taking into consideration the comments on the Pearl Izumi (Zephyrr) and Performance Illuminite
jackets I mentioned, I did some serious on-line price shopping before making a decision.
Before pulling the trigger, I decided to give the LBS a shot, although I had doubts regarding their
ability to match the on-line catalog prices.
I was quite surprised at one store (Sunset Cyclery - St. Louis) and their wide range of jackets.
They had numerous Pearl Izumi jackets, and competitively priced. However, as I posted before, I am
really surprised at the lack of reflective piping on their jackets - especially on the back.
I plinked down 86 bills for a Cannondale Morphis Jacket. Plenty of reflective piping and as a plus,
the sleeves zip off and it turns into a vest. It also appears to have plenty of venting, and is
water resistance to boot.
I have made a New Years pledge to start using the LBG more often!
