I’m nowhere near as accomplished as skurka, but I have some back country experience and I agree with him completely. Cheaper waterproof (not breathable) layers

I’m nowhere near as accomplished as skurka, but I have some back country experience and I agree with him completely. Cheaper waterproof (not breathable) layers with ventilation (pit zips on jackets and full length zippers on pants) is the way to go. Paying premium for GORE-TEX has not been worth it in my experience.

Maybe for hiking. When working hard in more extreme conditions like trail running in the mountains, ice climbing, etc the difference between those cheap shells and real gore-tex or alternative like eVent is striking
