I get 4 seasons of use out of my Helly Hansen Verglas shell...

Skiing, Hiking, Sailing, Rain/Snow/Wind! dry as a bone.

Its been replaced under warranty, and I got it for a deal -- so almost 5 years of waterproof/windproof service.... I've only washed/re-waterproofed once....

New ones are pricey, but if you are patient and keep an eye out for last winters models, you'll find a deal...

Precips are good, but basic. Definitely lightweight, it packs to almost nothing. Got mine off SAC several years ago - full price is pretty crazy. I feel the breathability is overstated in most reviews, but you can compensate with the pit zips.

Marmot Precip I have been happy with mine. Try Campmor for deals. I snagged on off of SAC for the wife last year for a steal.

Precip is decent, but for not too much more you can get a Marmot Mica, which is half the weight, more waterproof, and more breathable.

I can always go for more breatheability skibum9995.
*Would be nice to see Tucks pick up some snow the next couple nights....

Marmot Aegis ($150, got for $60)
Size L (im 5'10 185)
Vapor Blue

great jacket, light weight, huge pockets, big pit zips, perfect fit. Was out in some heavy rains the past few days, dry as a bone. Very happy

Re breathability- I've never tried a tech material that lived up to its breathability hype (maybe it was hype created in my head). The only noticeable breathability measure I found makes any difference is some type of core venting.

I just picked this up from STP for about $70

Of course it's bright orange to match my skis.
