Lowe Alpine Guide Jacket

So far my all time favorite jacket! The material is just as good if not better than Gore-Tex. This jacket is even more breathable than most Gore-Tex jackets. The whole jacket uses 1600 triple point cerimac, where the Flash Jacket uses both 1600 and 1200.

This material is very soft and isn't krinkly and stiff like some Gore-Tex jackets. The swivel sight hood is the best feature. It allows the hood to turn with your head so you're never blindsided. A very good jacket for the price.

A great buy for $150 bucks ($299+ retail). Really works well in the rain, especially in Seattle, but Gore-Tex jackets I believe are better quality jackets. Not bad though for $150.
