1) What does the Pertex offer over the Momentum offerings? It appears heavier and costs much more, and while I'm sure there is some justification, it isn't spelled out on the Thru-hiker site
2) Momentum 50 vs 90 vs Impetus 1.1 shell materials' durability. I'd like to use the tougher of the two for my underquilt outer shell
3) Which couple fabrics have the best hand/feel? I'm planning to make a fairly cold (0-10deg) setup, so vapor handling is important as well. It appears Momentum 90T and Impetus 1.0 are described as nice to the touch; is one nicer than the other?
4) Are any of these a pain to work with? I found sil to be hassle-free on my machine, but I have no experience with these fancier materials.
Thanks for the help, ya'll!
