Funny how y'all keep talking about that big big hood. On my size small jacket, I can't fit a single one of my helmets inside the hood. I suspect that hoods are up/down-scaled with sizes, so as not to look too stupid, but I wish they would all just be big and flappy, so I didn't have to wear it underneeth my helmet. Only time, that is an advantage is on nightrides, when I have ligths on top. Otherwise I think the Conspiracy jacket is perfect. It's light, waterproof, resonably breathing and best of all; simple. The zipper might not be waterproof in itself (the flap behind takes care of that), but I presume it will last forever on the contrary to waterproof zippers that get stuck as soon as they see a little mud.
