Tuanto. The Jovian Jacket is a hard shell jacket that is made with a 40 D DryQ Elite 3-layer fabric. The Kepler is considered to be a 'softshell' jacket and it made with a 3-layer DryQ Elite Softshell fabric with complete with a brushed fleecy back. The fabric is a little bit thicker in hand due to this lightweight brushed back but the performance is similar. I hope this info helps!
