I want to buy a breathable ( Gortex or similar ) touring jacket. They aren't cheap and I don't want to purchase something uncomfortable or restricting. Is a hooded one necessary? I would prefer one without. I am somewhat new to touring and paddle almost exclusively on large reservoirs and the Savannah river. Waves aren't an issue. Just the occasional accidental dumping. I am in the process of learning to roll and probably will paddle 9 months of the year. Are some designs more comfortable than others? The winters are mild here in Augusta GA but it gets cold at times. Any tips on cold weather layering would be helpful too.
