Would you recommend the Apex Bionic, the Backcountry Shift, or this Gamma LT? What are the differences?

The differences are the Gamma is a very breathable fabric, not very windproof and only water resistant. The shift is a more "sealed" jacket. Much more windproof and waterproof (not a 100% on either) but not as breathable. The Apex is a city/non technical jacket. Hope this helps.
