I live in the Netherlands, and my jacket needs to endure both 0 degrees celcius weather and 30 minutes rainstorms. Would this combination work?
Also, another question just out of interest, how is the breathability of a 'waterproof breathable' fabric like eVent or goretex compared to a regular down/fleece jacket? Apparently
>Technically, WP/B fabrics are breathable, i.e. moisture can pass through the fabric. But the level of breathability is inadequate to keep up with moderate- or high-aerobic activity, even when ambient humidity is very low. I’m surprised that fabric manufacturers have never been sued for false marketing claims, given how they describe the fabrics as “extremely breathable” and post photos of a runner in a WP/B shell.
So goretex is overrated, but aren't you going to sweat either way, in fleece or goretex?
