As far as your comments:

-On Sizing: Unlike the Finetex/Tactical jacket which contemplates a fleece liner, this jacket is not intended for another jacket underneath and thus it is a little tighter, but consistent with our other products.

-On waterproof: Although the fabric of the Tactical and Evolution is waterproof, we do not advertise the jacket itself as completely waterproof. To do so, we would have to seal all the seams and use waterproof zippers. This would add about $70 to the cost of the jackets and I believe is not needed unless you are in a terrential downpour, which is not often. I wore my Tactical skiing here in Sun Valley Idaho all last winter including some storms and was perfectly fine. I hope this makes sense.

Hey Scott,

You might want to check your product comparison chart because there are checkmarks for both jackets in the "waterproof" row. I too went snowboarding in the 3.0 and I got soaked, it was wet snow though. (of corse I fall alot though). I personaly would pay the extra 70$.
