How does the waterproof rating compare to gore pro and paclite? (seems obvious breathability on this specific event product rocks). Be great to see material denier rating's given by BC and some explanation on site of the denier ratings (try googling/hard to find good info). This seems to be my 'match all' shell, singletrack mtb/whistler MTB/hiking/ocean fishing/skiing, sometimes our exposure is 8 hrs in serious PNW deluge...will this match my helly or pataguchi SST for H20 proofness?

Im assuming youre talking about gore-tex proshell and gore-tex paclite? The difference is the breathability but also the thickness. The paclite is 3 layers consisting of the outer material, gore-tex membrane, then an inside material. Proshell still has those 3 main layers but just more of them. Im sure you can find this information on the gore-tex website if you want the specifics.
