Frankly, both of these jackets are very similar. Both are waterproof and breathable and have fully adjustable hoods and pit zips. Neither is lined, and both instead have textured inner surfaces designed to wick moisture and feel softer against your skin. Both are also very similar in weight. I think the only notable difference is that the Patogonia jacket has a tab that allows you to stow the hood rolled up.
