Mine has been pretty well waterproof.
I was planning on using this only as a water / Windproof outer layer to be used if needed over other layers.
So why would this not suffice in cold weather ?
What would be a better water proof shell ?


You probably won't like the stuff I use. It's not camo. I would suggest taking a look at Kuiu unless you aren't athletic like me. Although I see they added a XXXL now so maybe that will work for fat azzes like me. According to Kuiu I am not athletic build. I think Jason was just jealous he wasn't built like me. He would have had a better football career if he was. Their stuff is as good as it gets for non-Gore products.
