This will be a lot better, as it has both a higher waterproof and breathability rating. It has a 28K Waterproof rating, and about a 20K Breathability rating. You can find this at http://www.sierratradingpost.com/lp2/waterproof-guide/

jackalopes. This jacket is made utilizing the Gore Paclite laminate which is more breathable than the membrane used in the Epic Jacket. The membrane on the Epic gets a 10K breathability rating which is fairly standard for jackets around $100 bucks. The Typhoon gets a breathability rating around 35K which ends up being one of the more breathable membranes offered by Gore. I hope this info helps!
