I like my Showers Pass jacket except the front pockets run all the way down to the waist seam. If you put anything in the pockets and then lean forward, as one does on a bike, whatever is in the pocket jabs you. Phthphth.
Mine is a Showers Pass Transit. I got it at REI on an end-of-the-season sale at about half of regular price. It was a heck of deal that I couldn't pass up. It's bulkier than others in the Showers Pass range, making it a bit more of a challenge to pack. I never noticed the pocket issue you described but that may be because, at most, I've got my car and house keys and maybe my wallet stashed in them. I'll have to pay attention next time I'm out.
