It's true, eVent does rock your face. There are no need for underarm zippers but there are these large napoleon-style chest "pockets" which are mesh lined and could be left open. That would feel good when jettisoned from 10K above the earth into a lip of an erupting volcano.

The Event fabric used is the super light version which is lighter than other forms but the compromise is a loss of breathabilty. The more breathable one is the 3 layer. Event have numerous fabrics - a bit like gortex with their Paclite, Performance Shell, Pro Shell etc. Each fabric has different abilities. Hope that helps
