Does anyone have an opinion on the (glaring) red zipper on the carbon? How does the Summit Sky color compare with the Tahoe color from the eVent version of this shell? Also, after reading about this Bombshell material, how is this material different from softshells such as Powershield? Thanks =)

I like the red on gray... that's why I picked that color. If it's not your bag, then I would go with the sky blue. As for the material, this is still a hardshell, whereas powershield is a softshell. This will be much more waterproof than powershield, but not quite as waterproof as the event.
