I can't decide between this and the backcountry stoic. I'm kind of a sweaty guy but know how to layer. Is this Alpha SL for me or is the Stoic a better choice

It depends what youre using it for. The Alpha SL is 2oz lighter, but as far as ive heard, eVent is more breathable than Gore-Tex. I am a huge arcteryx fan, and my older bro had this jacket and loved it so i would recommend it to you.
