I'm wondering how EVENT breathes compared to the GoreTex in the AlphaSV because I just got a 2009 AlphaSV back as a warranty exchange for my old 2005 AlphaSV jacket. I'm a men's medium and want to sell this AlphaSV (red) if I can find a comparable replacement. It's new, and I don't know if it would be better to keep it or trade it out for some newer fabric technology:) Not necessarily for the Stoic, maybe Westcomb? Experienced info helps, thanks.

The downside to the air permeability is that it doesn't trap heat in as well as GORE-TEX.

event breathes extremely well, better than goretex. Event material can actually allow air to pass through, air permeable, while goretex and other waterproof breathable laminates are not air permeable.
