How does the jacket do compared to the Gore-Tex Pro Shell? Is one more breathable than the other? I just want a super durable 3 layer shell, that will breath tremendously. I get hot pretty easily and will need the ability to cool down or breath.

Hi Matt, I was talking to my Mountain Hardwear Rep a couple weeks ago about this jacket. According to him the Terra Jacket is actually MORE breathable than a Pro-Shell. Long term, the Pro Shell will be more waterproof though. Apparently the Terra fabric is the first proprietary waterproof/breathable that is more breathable than Gore-Tex. Hope that helps.
