I was going to suggest this too. I researched jackets etc. a lot when I got into backpacking.
BTW, I recommend strongly against Patagonia's breathable waterproof jackets/shells. In my experience, whatever they use for the lining material lasts a couple years and then starts disintegrating completely. If you call their service to try to get the warranty honored, they'll start making up bogus reasons that it was your fault it happened. I saw this with 2 jackets (or was it 3?)
