I believe that eVent is the best material for a waterproof/breathable jacket. Softshells can be nice, but they will get soaked in a downpour even with DWR coating. The Showers Pass Elite 2.0 is made using eVent. A few other companies that make active jackets using eVent are RAB (UK), Montane (UK), Integral Designs (CA), and Endura (UK).

Look at you gettin' all fancy. Nice work.
