So the backcountry.com shell has gone away from eVent in favor of a more durable fabric. Understandable, considering most people want something more durabe than eVent. However, for a superlight shell, will backcountry be coming back with another jacket with eVent?

I'm with Steve on this one. eVent simply isn't as durable as Gore-Tex. My eVent shells don't maintain their waterproofness for more than one winter season, which is disappointing, and which is why I still believe in GoreTex.

As far as I'm aware, we haven't gone away from eVent whatsoever; our designers love eVent and they'll continue to use it whenever it's appropriate (and cost-effective) to do so.
