dang, nice.
side note: I don't know about some of you all, but I do not like the slim cut garments. I don't intend to do layering, but I just like a roomier cut (I didn't think adding it to my criteria would be wise as it would almost eliminate most modern options, but anyway).
Anything else I may want to consider?
I like my EMS Helix anorak. Got it a few months ago and used it as a winter shell; haven't had the opportunity to see how it does in warmer rainy conditions but it's Neoshell and has great ventilation.

I really like that garment as well. Too bad they're sold out of sz lg. Doesn't look like they've brought back the pullover either.
Part of why I mentioned a looser fit is putting the pullover on in difficult/cramped quarters. The helix addresses that issue nicely.
