"Now I’m a fan of soft-shells personally but I also live in the Lake District which means I spend most of the winter, and a good portion of the summer, underwater and therefore if I’m going to be on the hill for any length of time I like to have something which is going to keep the rain out. I have used various Hard Shells in the past and I was often left frustrated at the lack of breathability which each and every one of them displayed. So when the eVent membrane reared its head in the UK I was eager to try one out....."
I had the velez smock before I bought my latok alpine, I loved it and they are mega breathable, but I found them to be too heavy for summer use so i reckon the Latok is better value as a year round jacket.
