I'm looking for a new hard shell jacket for the rain and would like your suggestions especially my PNW people .
On my move up from Ca I brought my 3 Tadgear softshells which worked great in Ca but turned out to be to warm & not water proof enough for our weather . I picked up an OR Foray which did the trick but lost most of it's dwr and seams started to fall apart after a year of lazy use so It's time to get something new.
I've been looking at the TAD Raptor http://store.tripleaughtdesign.com/Raptor-Hoodie
Arc'teryx Alpha not sure regular or lt http://leaf.arcteryx.com/ProductFind...gory=Hardshell
And the not as fashionable Columbia OUTDRY™ EX DIAMOND SHELL http://www.columbia.com/mens-outdry-...2=Dry&start=11
