TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Schoeller c_change breathable waterproof membrane

Just curious. Anyone know it? Comments, clothing reviews etc. A work colleague mentioned it as being the most superior "breathable" waterproof membrane in existence (or words to that effect). There is already Gore-Tex and eVent among others. I was aware of Schoeller in relation to soft shell fabrics but not this. How does c_change compare in practise to other membranes?

Several posters on various forums have said c change is not waterproof. I suspect it is more of a soft-shell type fabric.

c change is supposed to be waterproof.
but it may be that it's ability to remain waterproof is the issue.
with pores that change in size, it means the membrane has to have a lot of give in it , sacrificing it's durability.
