How waterproof is it? Should I spend a little more and buy a Gore-Tex jacket, or is the waterproofing on the FLX jacket good enough? Im mostly gonna use it for big mountain, park, etc.

Youre going to use it for big mountain, park...ect. Wow well that just about covers everything doesnt it? So you mean you are going to use it for skiing? Why not just say that and stop confusing us all.

Ok, sorry for creating this confusing enigma of information. Thinking can be pretty hard sometimes.

andreas is norwegian, so give him a break, seriously
but on backcountrystore.com it says 'The Orage Rider’s Edge FLX Insulated jacket gives you the advantages of PrimaLoft insulation and complete waterproofing for the upper hand on brutal weather.', so it IS waterproof, it just doesn't say how much...
