What is the difference between gore tape and arcteryxt tape? Im assuming one is water resistant and the other is just to keep extra wind from coming thru? Paul, I got the Venta SV btw and like it much better than any other soft shell I tried on. Wish it was waterproof though. My gut feeling is even in a rain or a snow I will be fine in it.

Hey guys I have a question? Why is it good for the Venta SV/MX to have taped seems when the material is not waterproof? Its still going to get drenched with water correct?

I do not have an exact answer, but I know the VENTA SV does have taped seams. The MX is new and is more expensive then the SV. Also both are considered windproof, which would also lead me to believe that the MX would have the taped seems as well. Arcteryx does not say on their site.
