Picked a Motive Ascent Shell up. Confirmation said they had high volume and expect extra processing time. Looks like a good deal to me - hoping it explodes after my order is shipped!

Everything goretex that I've owned sucked. I think it's all a marketing ploy. It might have been good at one time but shit now
Based on my experience. Goretex 3L is much better if you are in extremely heavy rain or less inactive. Ascentshell 3L is (much) better if you are active or in snow, it has considerably better breathability but requires some air movement to achieve this and it will wet out a little in my experience.
Between the two I'd take Ascentshell for skiing, biking, or difficult hiking but I'd pick Goretex for sailing, fishing or standing around.
If you are active, you are going to get wet whether it's from the rain getting in or moisture from your body not being able to escape. There's a sweet point for different activity levels. Layers of wool or synthetics can then be used for required warmth.
