It's not quite as breathable as something that's intended to be supremely-breathable but not very waterproof. As far as high waterproof and high breathability is concerned, it's the best they have and should outperform the usual suspects. None of the first-hand reports I'm leaning on are from Outside, though it does validate what I've heard from very reliable sources. Again, it's not intended to be as breathable as a softshell fleece-type material, but instead it aims to be as breathable as possible while still being waterproof. That's a tall order.

Yeah, TNF can be more token gear than actual gear, but this jacket is the pride of Polartec's new fabric. I'm not passing judgment until I try it. All indications I've gotten in the field is that it kicks bootay! Have you tried it? Yeah, TNF can be more token gear than actual gear, but this jacket is the pride of Polartec’s new fabric.
