I'm in the market for a new shell and would like some input from the experts. I'm looking for something lightweight, say 16oz or less, that I can use for backpacking. I would be willing to carry a few extra ounces to know that it will be bomber and I won't be getting soaked if heavy rain should arise. I already have a Red Ledge jacket and Marmot Precip, but neither has proven to be reliable in nasty conditions. I have an older REI jacket with Gore Tex XCR that is great for skiing, but it is too heavy for backpacking at 32oz. I don't know much about eVent so if anybody out there has any experience with it and can compare and contrast with Gore Tex paclite it would really help me out. Thanks.
