In reply to duckweed:
Not used the Velez Adventure Light.
However, if it assists at all, I have the earlier Velez (detachable hood and standard weight Analogy fabric) and wore it for a number of Scottish winter trips and other generally wet outings over the last 12 or so years. Never had it leak due to ingress, but have been a little damp around the hem and cuffs due to the way the water moves through the fabric. Additionally, pressure points such as under rucksack straps can impact on the functionality of the fabric and lead to damp or wet patches underneath. I've never had a major issue with this. Generally been very pleased with it, but don't expect it to dry out much on a multi day snow holing trip!
More recently I was gifted a Quito which used the Analogy light fabric. The face fabric is not particularly durable and the first few uses saw a couple of long pulls in the fabric due to catching on bushes, thorns, etc. However, this is quite breathable and water proof/resistant. No leaks through zips (and there are a few) and it is still quite a warm jacket so have reserved it for wet/snowy winter running, cycling and day walks with lightweight kit. Reluctant to use it for anything where there is likely to be abrasion/catching due to the early experiences of the lighter weight face fabric. This includes long days with a rucksack due to concern about abrasion/bobbling. The retailer did advise this can be prevented/reduced by regular cleaning and reproofing which should reduce the friction between jacket and sack (not entirely convinced??) and should extend to cleaning the rucksack as well to ensure you limit the potential for trapped grit, etc.
Overall though, really like the jackets but am more selective about when I wear them as opposed to a hard shell.
If the jacket suits, and you like the fabric, minor cosmetic differences shouldn't be a drama IMHO. However, I am aware (as in Larefia's reply) that different people have varying experiences with this gear.
