Backcountry.com Stoic eVent Shell - Men's
eVent is as advertised

Just picked up the Backcountry.com Stoic eVent Shell and it's great. I have been using this for both touring and early season inbounds skiing in Utah. You hardly notice any heat issues when you are moving and as soon as you stop you can feel the moisture evaporating from your body. You cool down quickly after aerobic output. It allows all of your layers to dry well and works well with a soft shell for layering. I would highly recommend this Jacket. If there is one thing I would like to see added to this jacket it would be an inside chest pocket for an I Pod. This was my first go with eVent and it is definitely as advertised highly waterproof and breaths way better than GoreTex. I got caught in some rain with this jacket and the water just beads up and roles right off. It is a bit of a slim fit. I usually wear a large and went with the XL for added room. I was glad I did.
