There is very little knowledge of people. Gore-Tex Pro = EVENTexpedition in terms of menbrana, only uses ePFTE no PU, also needs care and regular washes like EVENT. Only Standard Gore-Tex has PU+ePFTE but is far from breathing so well, because the PU that has.@pack21 let me know once you try how it works, as Zajo has some very reasonable pricing around here (Slovenia), but never really considered them before @Analisa wrote all that stuff about eVent Btw... this on your photo is Karakorum Neo? And as you have it, and I need something for ski touring where size matters, and my current Scott with Goretex Pro rolls a bit big and heavy, how small you can pack this one?
Yes Karakorum Neo, it's has EVENT DVAlpine, is 3L with one menbrane of ePFTE, and GorePRO 3L, with 2 ePFTE menbrane welded, same as Event DVExpedition, so heavier as you say, hardened, and not as breathable as DValpine. Then there is EVENT DVstorm even lighter, more breathable, but obviously not so robust and waterproof.
For ski touring you also have the Reykjavik Neo, which to pack i think is better than the Karakorum Neo, because in Reykjavik Neo the out face is all in Nylon 40D, and Karakorum Neo has parts in Nylon70D and 40D, so not so soft for packing.
At the level of pockets, pitzips and softer, i would have preferred the Reykjavik Neo, but i ended tradeoff for more robustness of the parts in 70D (shoulders and arms) on Karakorum Neo.
Mine comes packed here, don't know if helps.
