Gear Review
One of the best shells out there.

I love Westcomb, made in Canada, and eVent beats Gore-Tex hands down. You get a versatile big mountain coat with storm skirt (much better than Arcteryx storm skirt design) plus pit zips with eVent breathability. Fit is athletic but I would not call it Euro, I wear a Large and I am about 5-10 and wear 44R suit size. Nits would be that the storm skirt is not removable and like all Mirage Jackets, the curved front zipper is not for everyone but these are minor compared to the quality and performance that you get from this jacket. Get it if they have your size. If you want a "lite" version, get the Special Edition which drops the storm skirt, pit zips and arm pocket but to me, this is the value leader. One thing you should be prepared for is that once you go eVent, you will never go back to Gore-Tex.
