Fabric: 3L Gore Tex Pro Shell
Price Paid: $330

BULLET PROOF! Gore-Tex 3L Pro Shell is the best material you can get for durability, waterproofness and breathability. The breathability is amazing. I have been completely sweaty from a fast approach and then slowed down and all the moisture evaporated immediately. The coat can breathe!

Also, the coat is windproof. I have tested this in 85 mph winds with 15 F temp. It doesn't let ANY wind through. Obviously, it's waterproof. Many jackets are waterproof, but the best can breathe with Gore-Tex Pro Shell and have welded zippers with sealed seams. The Pro shell material breathes better, lasts longer and will not tear when climbing rock or skiing trees.

This coat has it all, plus it looks good. For sizing, I am 6'1" 185 lbs and have an X-large. I could probably have gone with a Large but this gives me layering room.
