Does anyone know if the Vertical jacket is 40,70, or other denier fabric weight. I'm one of those that kind of likes the stiff ultra durable feeling in the fabric. Is denier weight the main factor here or is it more about the number of Gore-Tex layers? Any suggestions for a jacket that still has that stiff durable feeling? I'm not particularly loyal to any specific brand at this point.

No idea on the denier. This is a 3 layer gore-tex pro shell jacket though, garaunteed to be the most durable and breathable. But...of the 5 gore tex jackets I've owned (MHW vertical (pro shell), Arc'teryx patriot(XCR), TNF Free Thinker II (pro shell), TNF Realization (performance shell), Columbia high alpine (?)), this is the least stiff, feels like a softshell minus the stretch (I like it, but to each their own). The others all pretty much had the same feel, which is stiffer than this jacket. Also, most proprietary waterproof/windproof fabrics trying to mimic gore-tex have that stiff feel, i.e. HyVent for TNF, etc..
