G. The Cohesion Jacket represents a step-up from the Epic Jacket in detail and fabric level. From a fabric standpoint, in the Epic Jacket we use Conduit Silk for the waterproof/breathable barrier and in the Cohesion we use Conduit DT. Conduit DT is a 2.5 Layer Microporous PU Coating with a Monolithic PU Lamination and Dry Touch Printing that keeps your skin from ever touching the surface giving you a dry fabric feel. Conduit DT also has excellent waterproofness and breathability (10,000mm/10,000g/m squared). From a detail and feature standpoint, if you look at the 'back' photo you will see two different colored fabrics. The darker fabric has stretch allowing more freedom of movement during any activity. The Epic Jacket does not have this. Also, the pockets are die cut and the front chest pocket is welded in place. All very cool features for a relatively inexpensive jacket. I hope this info helps!
