Greetings all.

I am looking for a good jacket to do double duty as a wind shirt and as a rain jacket. My budget is 150 plus shipping. Today while looking around I noticed both the Golite Phantom and Integral Designs Cruiser are on sale. Both for under 150$.

My question to all of you who have more experiance in the area is, what would you choose?

I understand eVENT is more breathable, but will this be an issue with the Phantoms venting options? Also how durable are both, I live in Southern California and often hike in chaparral areas and am worried about durabilty.

Thanks.
Jonathan

You might consider a Wild Things Epic windshirt. Not totally waterproof but will work OK for the occasional shower. Between your choices I'd go with eVENT any day, and I've heard good things about the ID Cruiser. Unless it's been redesigned, though, it doesn't have a hood.
