We in the Northern Hemisphere are slowly entering Spring, and with the warmer temperatures soon to be upon us, the rain will accompany us for several days.

Those who enjoy spending time outdoors know too well that, regardless of weather, a quality jacket is necessary. Yes, even during summer.

Performance jackets are made to provide protection against the elements, while also being highly breathable in order to reduce perspiration and minimize overheating.

Fabric technologies have been around for decades now and are continuously improved upon, in order to increase their performance, as well as for the brands to set themselves apart from competitors.

In several previous comparisons and review pieces we have gone through different fabric technologies, mainly comparing them to Gore-Tex, the staple of fabric technology.
