Hi everyone,
First time poster here, so sorry if this has already been covered…
I'm looking for a hard shell that would work well in multiple scenarios–long (over 2 week) treks and climbs at decent altitude (sometimes in cold, windy, and wet conditions), some kayaking, as well as climbing. Activity level will range from moderate to intense, so breathability is definitely a concern.
I've looked at some eVent and Gore-Tex shells:
ID thru hiker, Arcteryx alpha/theta, Westcombe specter LT, cruiser LT, mirage, revanant
But I've never owned any of these expensive awesome looking products so I'm not really sure which offers the right mix. I'd say that my first priority is versatility, followed by weight.
I was hoping that someone here could offer some wisdom as to the quality and performance of the shells I've mentioned (or any other that people like!) and maybe an opinion on which would be the most versatile and durable.
Thanks a ton!
