Thus, I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it, some with those untested Shower Pass jackets (no specs = no buy, over here).[/QUOTE]

Sorry to go off topic but since you brought it up...

You really need to check your facts. Go to the Showers Pass site, choose waterproof jackets from the drop down 'products' menu and then choose any jacket. Under 'products comparison', the chart gives the fabric type and the star rating. Below that is the technical data, per the star rating, regarding both breathability and waterproofness. It's been there for years. Combining the provided data with the customer reviews, I'm not sure what more you could want. If you don't like Showers Pass, fine. Just don't fabricate facts to fit your agenda or biases.

I do not work for or have any connection with Showers Pass; I'm just a satisfied user that prefers accuracy.
