Macpac eVent jackets?
Hi everyone,
I need to buy a new rainjacket and am interested in eVent as a fabric. Does anyone know what the quality of the new Macpac eVent jackets is like and their weights? They are listed on the web site as Prophet, Resolution and Traverse. I have emailed Macpac but unfortunately they haven't replied to me email asking about weights. A pity - Macpac was always good at communicating in the past. There is no Macpac outlet in Hamilton either, so I cannot go and look at them. Does anyone own one and if so, what do you think of it? Any opinions gratefully received!
Many thanks,
Alan

@Waynowski: Thanks for the information about Twin Needles putting in pit zips. Got a Go-lite jacket that doesn't have them. It cost $200 and due to the DWR still working, is performing well. I have to recommend wearing arm warmers in rain. My sister ran me up a pair of ribbed possum-merino ones and charged me only $13 for the cost of the wool. Frank has been trialling wearing a poncho though we didn't get much chance on our 11 day trip on the NWC with only 5 minutes of rain!
