> That's interesting - has TNF gone back to Goretex for all their top of the range jackets? I can see on their website a few things made with Futurelight, but most of their mountaineering and ski touring shells seem to be GTX again.
I think they're using both Gore-Tex and Futurelight within their range, with the idea being that former offering the most waterproof option and the latter providing the most breathable one.
From a UK perspective I suspect most of us will lean towards Gore Tex, given that we're 'blessed' with high rainfall, temperatures and humidity. I could see something like Futurelight working really well in the Alps where it's a lot colder and drier.
