Need advice on a lightweight, breathable rain jackrt

[iso1600]

phil, I feel the same about my Patagucci Torrentshell.
That and the Precip are basically the same jacket, so it comes down to which colors and pocket arrangement you like more, or which fits you better or is on sale. They are both awesome and great deals when on sale. I got my first torrentshell in 2007 and wore it in Korea, Japan and all over the US in all kinds of weather. Only got rid of it (sold for $50 on ebay after all that) to get a bigger one. The breathable material on these jackets will keep good for years, just wash it every now and then, needs to "pores" in the fabric to be cleaned out.
