ambys Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hey folks, I'm about to order a the FF Ptarmigan for my Denali expedition, and I'm wondering if some folks with experience can weigh in on which of these two fabrics (event vs epic) would be most ideal for both this expedition and general use. I've heard nothing but great remarks about event, but I don't know much of anything about epic, nor do I know how the two fabrics compare. And, I'd rather get some experiential advice than have to take the companies at their word. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have a FF Widgeon with Epic fabric that I used on Denali. I thought it worked fine, shed spilled liquids well and allowed perspiration to escape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I would go for the more breathable Event fabric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Phil Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Why do you think that eVent is more breathable than Epic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambys Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 I knew I could count on you guys! haha (j/k)... but seriously, can anybody objectively lay down the pros/cons? All of my research leads me to the manufacturers themselves, and on an investment this big I'd like to get some experiential advice. Thanks, Ambys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Ask Feathered friends about the fabrics themselves...They are are super helpful bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambys Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well I spoke to FF and elected to go with eVent. It appears to be a little more water proof, and they're pre-stocked that way so I don't have to wait. Thanks to those who chimed in! -Ambys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
