“I ordered a cloudburst hoodie and love it! It’s very light and in some ways simple, but it seems perfect for what I wanted—a breathable rain jacket that’s not stiff, crinkly, and overheated. Packaging and product feel premium. Also, excellent customer service when calling the store.”
“Though I have not tested my rain gear in a downpour, I'm impressed with the construction (vent zippers) to allow escape of body heat; the velco fasteners & long zippers on the pants are well constructed for getting the pants over your shoes. The jacket itself is sooo much better than the Gore rain jacket I purchased; though the Gore jacket had a hood, there were no vents & it costs twice as much!!”
“Top quality products -- waterproof really IS waterproof and breathable really is breathable! Customer service and shipping speed is top notch too.
This is my second set of rainwear and the first set is still good 5 years later...”
“While it did not rain much when using the gloves in Southeast Alaska, the gloves were comfortable warm and kept our hands dry in 45-50 degree weather. I would recommend purchasing the gloves.”
“The zipper on my only cycling rain jacket broke just before leaving on a cycling trip through northern Scotland. I emergency-ordered the showers pass rain jacket that had been recommended by others. Saved. My. Trip. On and off every day, as the predatory storms blew through all day, nearly every day. I back and forth swapped jackets between a lighter version for the sunny moments, and this jacket for the rain, and it worked out perfectly. Sometimes both at once when it hailed! Highly recommend. It's now my favorite rain jacket for cycling during those very drenchy moments. Thanks for the emergency save AND absorbing my stress level when I thought it might not arrive.”
“Took advantage of their sale and goofed when ordering the size. I contacted SP and they were easy to work with. This my wife's first SP jacket, I have three. It is hard to buy from anyone else, these work out great.”
“I got this jacket on Saturday and wore it Sunday during a light drizzle with heavy wind on Sunday while on a bike ride—amazing blockage of the wind! Then on Wednesday did a 20 mile ride in pouring Seattle rain and my jersey was completely dry. Best investment!”
“My rating of Showers Pass is based on the responses to issues with my first two orders. The first was the Timberline jacket and pants. What appealed to me was the slimmer fit than others I have tried. The sizing chart indicated a size large for the jacket but I'm a big guy (5'11" and 200 lbs) so I exercised my own judgment in choosing XL. My biking gear, as opposed to civilian clothes, tends to run tight. The XL was too big. I returned it and staff was helpful in sending me the L version which fit perfectly. My second order was for a Refuge Jacket. I ordered it in L thinking it would fit perfectly like my Timberline jacket. Instead, it was a little tight and I returned it for an XL. There were no XL's to send me, however, because the goldenrod color was not in stock. The helpful person on the line said the jacket would be available in the fall in XL and the sales price would be available to me as it would be a substitute. Instead, I asked that they send the L back to me; I can wear it and it will motivate a little weight loss. All that said, I have not worn either one in the rain or on a bike. But SP's repeated asks for a review prompted this, in consideration of the thoughtful and practical ways in which staff have helped me get what I really want!”
“Crystal was nothing short of amazing! I wish all customer service personnel cared so much and were so responsive. I am ordering a pair of Transit rain pants soon for my bike-crazy spouse. Cheers, Steve”
