    Best shell tech ever created was the Lowe alpine triple point ceramic technology which has now been buried. I had mine for 15 years, all types of moutaineering days (Wales is WET) and it never leaked and I never reproofed it, seriously! You just had to
    heat it to keep it waterproof! It was cool on warm days and warm on cold days. I short this was the unicorn coat. The only reason I stopped using it was because I lost it.

    Someone should bring that tech back
    Additional bonus was that it didn't use any environmentally damaging dwr (as far as I'm aware, I'm not 100% on the but I think they used polyurethane)
