To compare similar jackets: This Marmot Minimalist Goretex($135)-sturdy and light/packable but rubbery with minimal if any breathability -(sweating and damp within a minute walking around the house in a tee shirt- 62deg) looks good though as it loses its wrinkles.

Ordered XL- I’m 6’2′ 230# 46chest /35…
