The inside of the shell has a gray rubber looking material, is this the pac-lite? Because it looks like rubber and feels like rubber. I can see on the shoulders and some of the arms where a thinner less heavy material is, is this the Gore-tex pro?

other way around...most of the body is gore tex paclite and the shoulders are gore tex pro, because those are high abrasion areas...paclite is the thinnest and lightest of gore tex fabric and gortec pro is the thickest (3 layers) and most durable--That rubbery material is a Polyurethan liner that sits between your skin and the Gore-Tex material. The actual PacLite membrane (the part that breathes) is between the grey liner and the outside of the jacket. If you're concerned about the breathability, go work up a sweat in the jacket and see how much moisture it retains.
