I've had mine in "Oaks Brown" aka Coyote Brown for a few months now and love it. The jacket can be stuffed into one of it's front pockets for stowage. It also happens to be under your budget and locally available at the MEC downtown Toronto.

Picked up a Torrrentshell from the Patagonia store today. I considered getting the brown one from MEC, but in the end opted for grey. Its not green or tan; and I would have preferred something in the foliage/ranger-green colour spectrum, but the only green they had was an iffy-looking forest green.
I considered trying the Tru-Spec ECWS parka but at the moment light and packable is my main priority, plus I couldn't find anywhere to try it on in-person.
Am expecting to do some hiking in the rain this weekend, should be a good first test.
The guy at the store was saying the jacket will delaminate over time, depending on use. Does anyone know if milsurp Goretex suffers from this issue?
