The Axis has Water Proof panels on the hood, shoulders, and sleeves. It is the best Softshell Kuiu makes in my opinion. Finer touches than the Guide, and mine is a tad longer than the Guide. I am not a huge fan of Kuiu but they did this one right.
My concern is that with more wind and water resistance comes less breathability .
Will that not restrict this to purely a static layer ?
