Well...the new thing is here. It is highly superior to the Elite 2.0 and cheaper. I really like the mesh lining on the inside of the jacket...does a great job of soaking up sweat, something the elite 2.0 doesn't have.
Check it out.

It's a nice jacket, lots of venting and customization which is just as important as the fabric... an eVent garbage bag is still a garbage bag, so if you can't afford the kitted out event jacket forget about it. The other issue is none of these jackets easily stows away.
I'd check it out... the material is on par with the older gore-tex... very durable.
