Fight the power! Damn Rapha...

I've been looking for a lighter weight jacket for a month. It's been in the low 40's on rides early morning and I've been freezing my nuggets off. After a lot of research (Showers Pass, Gore, Hincapie, PI, etc) I keep coming back to Rapha and their pricey goods. I've had good experiences with their products which leads me constantly back to their site.

I've determined that the classic softshell is just too warm for where I ride. Like I said - cold is in the low 40's then heating up to low 50's. Misty, maybe some rain. So I've been looking at their stowaway jacket and the rain jacket which is just slightly more weighted and waterproof than the stowaway. Finally, they have a clearance (Clarence) on the Paul Smith/Rapha city rain jacket for a decent price.

So I am perplexed. Does any one have any words of wisdom? I would like a jacket that is flexible, packable and doesn't get too clammy.

Sorry in advance for another Rapha thread!
