WINNER: AndrewB121
Named after the beautiful pyramid-shaped peak in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas, the Summit Pumori GORE-TEX® Pro Jacket harnesses a seam-sealed three-layer GORE-TEX® Pro shell for high-performing waterproof-breathable protection - even in the harshest mountain conditions.
There's articulated patterning for a comfortable fit and enhanced mobility, and the roomy hood is helmet-compatible. That's not all. We've removed the shoulder seams to minimise bulk, even with a backpack. There are plenty of pockets for snacks, energy bars and your essential alpine tools and accessories. And recycled materials make this jacket better for nature.

That's interesting - has TNF gone back to Goretex for all their top of the range jackets? I can see on their website a few things made with Futurelight, but most of their mountaineering and ski touring shells seem to be GTX again.
I think they're using both Gore-Tex and Futurelight within their range, with the idea being that former offering the most waterproof option and the latter providing the most breathable one.
From a UK perspective I suspect most of us will lean towards Gore Tex, given that we're 'blessed' with high rainfall, temperatures and humidity. I could see something like Futurelight working really well in the Alps where it's a lot colder and drier.
