Orage Carter 2 Questions

Hey all. I've searched and searched again with no luck.
I've been seeing the Orage Carter 2 jacket popping up on Tramdock/Whiskey a few times lately.

Jacket looks dope and the orange/brown colorway would totally kill it with my kit but I can't seem to find any info on the fabric/breathability rating.

Any help? It has fully taped seems which is pretty legit, but I wouldn't consider a jacket below 10k/10k breathability/water proofing. Personal preferance.

Any help? First hand experience?
Thanks everyone.

all the waterproof rating/breathability is on the side.

I just bought the same jacket from Whiskey Militia or Steep and Cheap, I forget.  It should be here Friday. I bought it in L and XL, I'll give you more info when it gets here on sizing and stuff.  All I found is that the zipper length on a large last year was 33".

Yeah, I don't know how it'll size.  There's no info on the jacket and I bought it from a Backcountry store, so it won;t be hard to return it if need be, or I could always resell it on here pretty easily.
