Could Polartec RPM trump Gore Shakedry?
Discussion
Polartec just launched its newfangled Power Shield™ RPM material, which claims to be stretchy and have brilliant breathability despite being waterproof.
I was sad Polartec quietly dropped NeoShell as it was the only waterproof I found genuinely breathable while cycling. I even preferred it over Gore’s venerated Shakedry. So, this new RPM stuff could be interesting.
The Santini Magic Rain Jacket and Castelli Ultra Rain Cape are the first Polartec RPM jackets I’ve seen available. Has anyone seen them reviewed yet?

Mind, I'm such a Shakedry fan-boy that I've got one still bagged in my cupboard as a spare.
