David Wood was the guy I was referring to earlier (who had experimented with a pump liner in combo with a lightweight windshirt). He is a member here, and replied on Chris Townsend's article.

>> Hyvent is 1.8 oz/yd2, membrane has a special print matrix so it doesn't require lining, but I wonder how well that works
I made a rain anorak with Hyvent from Quest. 4.3oz for a generous men's small. Fabric has a really nice drape. Modified pattern to minimize seams. I didn't line it. In terms of performance, it feels very similar to Marmot's "Membrain Strata" fabric… somewhat breathable, effective against rain. Not as breathable as eVent, imo, closer to GTX.
nice looking jacket!
