Just curious,
Is the waterproof/breathability data for Dry.Q Elite reliable? They seems too good to be ture. How does it feel comparing to goretex or eVent jacket?

It's real. The fabric is so breathable that it almost doesn't feel windproof. The feel of the jacket as a whole depends on the base fabric MH uses. On the Snowpocalypse, it feels soft and flexible and has a fuzzy backing fabric. On other shells, MH laminates DryQ to a more hard-shell fabric that makes it feel more like eVent or Gore.
