Not yet "hours" of rain, but an hour of rain was kept at bay.
Better yet is the comfort factor compared with all the synthetic coated and
laminated things I've tried over the years, ventile wins hands down. I feel
very uninformed to have continued pursuing a strictly synthetic answer for

Och! I just noticed the arms are not double layered, and in my experience, on a
bike, the arms need double layering.

Yeah, I’m 6-2” and 200lbs. So you may be fine. I have no experience with the
greenspot other than I know their smocks work perfectly for me year round

Seattle — yeah, that very parallel to Scottish weather. Single layer
Thanks, Patrick. Slim fit is usually what I need, as I'm 5' 11.5" and 140
lbs. I bet a medium will still give me some layering room. I'm thinking it
would be a great jacket for Seattle weather. My only question is whether I
really need double ventile.

Good call, Eamon! Just keep in mind that the greenspot is trim fit, which means
if you get your correct size and are trim, you will be hard pressed to fit
extra layers under for insulation, making it a zero season garment for the
riding I do (which can include snow at altitude, even in summer).
Looking good on the Riv cover page, Patrick.
On the subject of Hilltrek and ventile, I really want one of their herirage
Greenspot jackets!

Ah, yes. The Hybred Ventile. That name always confused me, given it is all
ventile, just double layer on shoulders and arms where needed the most. Have

Congratulations Deacon! That is some compliment, to be used as a cover
person on the Rivendell site. A well deserved compliment indeed.

Just got home.
It was treacherous with black ice this morning, but passable this morning
since so few cars were out on my roads at that early hour. The "snowcrete"
was inches to my right when I did yield the lane. Tonight enough had melted

How’d the ride go, Andy?
I’m constantly ammused by the snow conditions I ride. Some are plowed, some
aren’t. What is in good, ridable condition one minute may be near impassable
the next if it gets plowed, or driven on, or the next day the unplowed is far
harder because of the freeze/thaw
Fantastic! Spring is such fun for the predictable unpredictability. Your
journey into fixed gear is amazing to me.
My version, came on my day off, but awaits my commute within the hour this
morning:
Great pics and ride account Patrick. You have my respect sir. Thanks for
sharing, Marc.

I agree with Erl, that last photo should be your headbadge, or maybe a down

Keep sharing your rides and photos please!

Nice post Patrick! I'll try to remind myself of your rides like this one
before I decide to skip the bike because it is drizzling :)
Btw, who takes those pictures? Do you have one of those drones that
follows you?
