Has anybody used the new DryQ elite from Mountain Hardwear. Is it just another hardshell? Any better or worse then EVENT?

Basically identical :) Same membrane anyway, face fabrics maybe a little bit different.

Having experience the LACK of breathability in previous MH garments (gloves and Ski Patrol parka) I'd steer clear of MH laminates until they are proven in independent, objective tests to have good breathability.

Just sayin'...

Great prognosis, Eric.
This was also covered fairly well in Will's recent article:
