Right on Tanner!!! Looks like an awesome time!! Glad you liked that Westcomb Jacket.....really like my eVent stuff too as you know. So breathable compared to the other gore tex offerings I ahve used in the past and seems thus far to be "waterproof" longer when hiking through miles of wet grass and alders in the rain.
I did upgrade from the Spectre to the Cruiser LT to get the pit zips and love it. Super breathable membrane AND pit zips...whats not to like.
Like TAK says both Gore tex and eVent are MUCH better than wearing rubber rain gear for high activity backpack style hunts. But I have found from having 4 or 5 $300-$500 gore tex rain jackets and 3 eVent ones is the the eVent ones are superior at breathing AND keeping me drier. The science aspect between the two membranes I have no idea, its just been my experience.
