I'm not sure if they make a Yukon "normal," but mine is the rain jacket. It's very quiet for a waterproof product, as the external bonded layer is a thin softshell material - think those black North Face jackets. It's much quieter than any other goretex or other membrane jacket I have used. "Breathability" is a relative term, as is "quiet," as it's not as good at either as the Guide, but it is rain proof, not just resistant or rain slick, so that's a trade off to be made.

Painful to pay for it, but I'd rather be dry and broke in the field than wet with soggy dollar bills in my wallet.
