Has there been much success in this category? Is there a crowed favorite for these types of jackets? Anything expected to wow us for 2013?

This should wow some of us…perhaps??
I believe it weighs in at 195 grams….a new eVent DVL 2.5 layer fabric… or something like that.

there are two types of event fabric the origonal 3 layer fabric and the new 2.5 layer DVL fabric. The Westcomb Focus (7oz) is the first rain jacket made from DVL fabric. they are only accepting preorders right now.
All other event jackets use the older 3 layer fabric which weighs more. The RAB Demand is the lightest of the 3 layer jackets is listed at 11oz. It's a pull over jacket and saves weight by having a half length main zipper and having no pockets. The Westcomb Specter LT with a full length main zipper and 2 pockets is 12oz. There are then alot of event jackets above the 12oz weight.
So if you can weight a bit the Westcomb focus is the lightest choice.
