One of my favorite Westcomb pieces. eVent hood, sleeves, and shoulder are waterproof, but its not seam sealed. So, its not really a rain shell, but the eVent will keep you dry enough (for quite a while) if you get caught in a rain or wet snow. Schoeller dryskin breathes incredibly, and on a windy day, you'll feel it, which is perfect if you're doing high aerobic activities, or are warm blooded. On really windy and cold days, I layer with my down jacket and that makes the system windproof. Merino wool lining rocks. Very comfortable as I'll wear this jacket in the spring and fall with short sleeve shirts and its perfect. Attention to detail in construction is amazing.
