Gimme shelter!

Friends, netters, cyclists, lend me your ears:

I am looking for a medium to high quality rain suit
that could serve double duty as a wind breaker in cold
weather. Light weight would be nice as I tour under mid-
western conditions (20 deg. C in the post noon, 0 deg. C in
the pre-dawn) and need to pack and unpack it often; I
*don't* want to sacrifice waterproofness for weight reduc-
tion. I think it should be ``bicycle cut'' but I'm not
sure. My research indicates that GORTEX stuff is the way to
go but again I'm not sure.

I ride a lot of road miles in cool/cold weather, com-
mute in the slush and the rain, and occasionally wear a lit-
tle mud. I'd like something that is relatively easy to
clean and care for. I'm willing to pay as much as is neces-
sary to get a quality product.

Manufacturers, distributors, mail order addresses,
prices, caveats: I will greatfully receive any suggestions
you might have.
