I apologize in advance for this noob question but I have been trying to read up on this and understand very little, mostly due to all the different brands naming their fabric technology different things which adds to the confusion. I have limited time to find more info and rtff.
I have until tomorrow to choose a replacement jacket for something I've purchased which turns out to not fit so well after all. I know nothing at all about rain jackets and I'm trying to choose between three and try to find the best one with good breatheability.
My options are the North Face Venture jacket, Columbia Evaporation jacket and a third less known brand, VR-Traveller. All three are very similar but I would like to know more about the inner layers.
The North face feels nice, like a regular nylon type material, they call it Dryvent.
The other two, Columbia and VR-Traveler have this inner material which looks similar and feels similar to an extent, but with sort of a rubbery feel to it. Maybe the material itself isn't rubbery but it has that feel to the touch, especially when I'm trying to take it off it sticks more to my arms than the TNF one.
I prefer the last two jackets but I'm worried about the inner material causing issue. A few other North Face have the similar rubbery feeling inner material that I've tried, it seems to be a popular option, people at one shop i tried a few weeks ago suggested it was the better option.
Here's links to two jackets for reference.
