They both have their own kinda style of water proofing and around the same price points for bibs, jackets etc.

I love fly low but I outgrew my old jacket and looking for a new one

I have never been disappointed in a Trew product. I ski on Hood so wet snow storms, and rain are not uncommon.

The backcountry specific Capow kit is awesome, used it in wet and windy conditions and very happy with it.

They’re both pretty top notch in terms of quality, haven’t ever had an issue with either brand personally. I like Flylows more simple aesthetic and colors but they both make real good stuff, especially for the money.

Can anyone speculate if Trew has made their fabrics more breathable in recent years? I had a suit many years ago and I felt like I was wearing a garbage bag. Sure it was very water resistant, but what's the point in keeping all water out when you create a lot of moisture inside?

Their first one's were heavy duty as fuck. The BC stuff uses Dermizax, the resort wear uses something a little lighter than previous years. I have a jacket from last year I felt was pretty breathable.
