According to the Burton website... - Goldenseal, Tiger Camo and Olive are Softshell - True Black and Resin are Proshell

Correct, Proshell will have a crinkly feel to it where the softshell will breath better and be softer to the touch w/out that crinkly feeling.

thats an AWESOME question, i dont know which is which but ive wondered that too. Goretex softshell is a bit less durable but softer to the touch, slightly stretchy, and way more breathable, and of course its totaly waterproof. Goretex proshell is traditional harshell material and is super durable, but not as soft or breathable as shoftshell
