The test results I've seen on eVent vs. gore pro-shell show that the breathablility on eVent is better initially, but since it doesn't have a protective layer on the membrane, regular use reduces this to lower levels pretty quickly. Also, vapor transfer is really the important thing to pay attention to. (breathability=air moving through the membrane; vapor transfer=sweat dissipating and moving through)Gore has better vapor transfer. Dont forget to take face fabric into account as that's your first level of protection.

event is totally waterproof and super extremely breathable, way more than gore tex (i want to say like 200 times more breathable, but i forgot the exact number)...its ultralight, and probably the only bad thing is that its paper thin and is not very durable, thats where Gore-Tex Pro shell excells, its bombproof, super durable
