That kind of depends on what you are looking for in a jacket -The most waterproof material will be Goretex or eVent, along with the most breatheable.As far as do you want the lightest? There is goretex paclite that will get you a super light jacket under 1 lbs. Then there are heavier jackets that are thicker/stronger and will be goretex or eVent meant for more use than just keeping you dry. Look at Arcteryx Alpha AR, Westcomb Mirage, Arcteryx Alpha SL to see a few differences. My favorite choice is eVent and Westcombs jackets are amazing.Most people would say "TNF mt. light jacket" but it's more trendy than technical now! The Storm jacket is still a waterproof jacket that can take the abuse of skiing and outdoor winter activities while looking great from around-town use.
