the snorting elk at crystal? I love that bar! the Welder does not have pitzips - but it being a true softshell it is far more breathable than the genesis (genesis is really fully waterproof shell). the powershield materials are very weather resistant, and works great for cold, windy, snowing, blowing weather of touring, and downhill. it would not be the right jacket for the nasty 34 degrees and raining weather of the NW, bring a rain shell for that weather.
