I have the Golite jacket but not the pants. OregonMouse is correct on the durability front - DriDucks are simply not as durable, at least this has been my experience. They are also not as waterproof. The Golite has a hydrostatic head that is about 3 times greater. The DWR is very good so no wetting out....yet. Which is more breathable? Well the Tumalo has pit zips so the ability to regulate heat is very good. I wish the hood was a little more helmet compatible when I am climbing but for the price, I can't think of anything coming close to the overall performance.
