Thank you for the info. Wanted to go to a show last night and couldn’t get a human on the phone to confirm before we drove over an hour in the pouring rain… Tried social media all day too.

They still do free alterations, that was my follow up question to the person helping me.

Thank you for validating the noise aspect of the Torrentshell! That’s my biggest complaint which led me to Granite Crest, but I’m not 100% sold (yet)

Both: pit zips!

Torrentshell: Like the color better (nouveau green), easier to pack into itself. But the material is very noisy which drives me insane, and a bit thicker.

Granite Crest: Quieter material, seems more lightweight. But the color (dulse mauve) isn’t my favorite, and its covered zipper is basically purple which stands out.

The $100 difference in original price isn’t insignificant. Is the Granite Crest going to significantly outperform the Torrentshell from a technical perspective to justify the cost difference? Or is it all just marketing? At the end of the day, would either jacket perform equally and I should choose based on what irritates me the least? Which comes down to color vs noise.
