How would the Escape compare to the MHW Exposure? I've got the exposure, but I'm wondering if there's something a bit lighter, but equally knife-fighting tough...Or another related shell (I'm also looking at the MHW Typhoon because it's got a crazy discount, but I'm not sure on it's durability)? Thanks, so much.

Victor. The Escape is a GoreTex 2-layer shell that is made with a fairly light shell fabric that feels even a bit cottony. It is light, waterproof, packable and comfortable. You could use this for just about anything you do in the Mountains. The Exposure is a full featured, fairly heavy weight, mountain parka that is ski patrol issue on a few mountains out west. It is made utilizing our Conduit laminate and is waterproof and breathable. The Escape weighs 708grams and the Exposure weighs 964grams for comparison. Hope this helps!
