I am looking for a new hardshell jacket and am interested in a very light, packable shell but something I could wear all day as a layer if needed.
I ski mostly in proshell pants (theta sv), love the proshell, but I am interested in something lighter and am looking at a couple of jackets that are made with Paclite.
Marmot Minimalist, Patgucchi SuperCell and Arctx Alpha SL are the models on my radar.
Is this Paclite stuff adequately waterproof and breathable?
Any experience with any of these three shells?
(I am a bit of a hardshell luddite, so references to softshell alternatives will probably be lost on me, but you can try if you like, especially if something is allegedly more waterproof than paclite).
These aren't cheap, so help me out.
