I still love my Cloudveil Ice Floe (basically a Serendipity w/ a hood). No storm shell jacket in the list? I'm on my way down to pick up a Koven Plus. Got a Marmot Oracle for xmas but it's going back and the Koven Plus will be mine! I initially wanted a light shell to go over the Ice Floe and thought the Oracle would be great but the Koven Plus looks to be only slightly heavier and powder skirt should make it much more useful for me in nasty weather. =L= Ditto on the hood.

Sometimes that's a dilemma. I certainly want a hood when I'm in places such as Northwest, and for EU I brought the detachable one for the Tremor, in case the weather is "good."
