hey Alaska - apples and oranges on the quest and nimbus. The comparables would be quest or one of the other soft shells (there are three) vs. the 90% jacket or Celsius jacket. The sitka nimbus compares to the browning zero gravity, a shell only. Both weigh at about 19 ounces. I know browning uses paclite gore-tex. I think the newer nimbus might, but their website still says a "breathable layer" whatever that means.
