Scott. This jacket falls under GoreTex's Performance Shell category... mostly because they did not know where to put it. We combined a 70 denier face fabric with Paclite, one of the most breathable Gore laminates, so that you could achieve the durability of Pro-Shell for roughly $100+ bucks less and maintain phenomenal breathability. So, since we used the Paclite laminate you could ask why it doesn't fall in the Paclite category? Again, this is due to the durability of the 70 D face fabric and because of this durability Gore decided to split the difference and put it in Performance Shell. I hope this helps to clarify the placement of a unique jacket in Gore's product marketing.

Hi. The description actually says performance shell and not pro-shell. Gore-tex has 4 lines right now...Paclite, performance shell pro-shell and soft shell. http://www.gore-tex.com/remote/Satellite/content/fabric-technologies-outerwear
