how does Gore Tex Paclite compare to Marmot Membrain Strata?
I'm trying to decide between the MH Typhoon and the Marmot Aegis...

Also I wear size L jackets from marmot, should I wear size L from MH?

Jules. Gore Paclite is composed of a version of Gore's PTFE and has one of the highest breathability ratings in a Gore Laminate. This Paclite is laminated to a 100% nylon ripstop. 40 denier, high filament count bright yarn in this particular jacket, has a DWR finish and weighs 2.65 oz/yd2. The fabric is engineered specifically to be light and packable, GORE-TEX® PACLITE® garments typically weigh 15% less than similar 3 layer GORE-TEX® garments. The fabric in total weighs 2.9 oz./sq. yd. and provides 28,000mm in waterproof performance and 27,000g./m in breathability or MVTR. Marmot’s own lightweight MemBrain® Strata waterproof / breathable technology is A PU based lamination technology that rates 20,000mm in waterproof performance and 20,000 gr in breathability. This proprietary 2.5 layer fabric uses micro non-organic particles on the inside of the lamination to increase durability and provide a dry touch instead of that clammy feeling you get from non-dry touch products. Membrain Strata is very similar to Mountain Hardwear's Conduit DT or Conduit 'Dry Touch' fabric found in our Cohesion Jacket. So, in basic conclusion, Paclite is a PTFE laminate and Membrain Strata is a PU based laminate. Both very good... both very different and both will keep you dry and warm. If you wear a large from Marmot there is a really good chance you would be a large in Mountain Hardwear as well. Hope all this info helps!
