eVent rain gear

[darcytribe]

Years ago I bought my wife an eVent rain jacket. It’s been awesome. I’ve used GoreTex rain gear and have been uderwhelmed. Does anyone know of any manufacturers currently producing rain gear using eVent? Any real world reviews of that eVent rain gear?

I believe OTTE Gear uses eVent in their rain garments. I had an REI eVent jacket and still use a pair of their pants. I felt like the jacket was more breathable than Goretex but I sweat a lot so it doesn’t really matter what I’m wearing I’ll be wet from the inside anyway. Durability has proven to be pretty good with the pants. Haven’t needed to replace them yet, and finding short inseam rain pants is a task in itself.

I have an REI EVent jacket.
Definitely not windproof but breathes well and, when it's clean, beads water nicely.
I don't think I would buy EVent again.
Shows no wear after probably ten years of solid use.
