Anyone got the new Aegis version of the Tahr or Wapiti yet?
Despite my initial misgivings it seems owners on other forums are giving Aegis a good write-up. I would be interested to see moisture vapour transmission data for it.
I also learned there were two generations of Swazi Gore tex material: the original, softer, furrier material found on my old Wapiti, and then the newer Gore Tex material found on my relatively new pre-Aegis Tahr. The former seems to soak up more water, and is softer, than the latter. Supposedly the new Aegis fabric is more like the later Gore tex fabric - a little stiffer and crunchier, but less absorbent.
