Haglöfs L.I.M GTX II vs L.I.M Proof
Choose L.I.M GTX II if you prefer GORE-TEX PACLITE PLUS construction and its adjustable hood and hem. Consider L.I.M Proof if its athletic shape and PROOF 2.5-layer construction suit you better. Both belong on a shortlist for a shell you expect to pack and carry.
Based on 199 included owner reviews.
The differences that matter
The membrane names identify different constructions; they are not a controlled breathability comparison. The GTX II is designed to pack away, while the Proof combines a snug hood, two hand pockets and reflective details. Try the hood over your usual headwear before choosing between them.
We do not use retailer weights to fill gaps in the checked manufacturer material. Without comparable verified jacket weights, a precise gram advantage would be misleading. Fit and the owner findings below give you more useful ways to narrow the choice.

Which should you choose?
Choose GTX II if the PACLITE PLUS construction and adjustment work for you. Choose Proof if its athletic shape and simpler feature set are the better fit. Check room for layers and arm movement in person rather than interpreting the L.I.M name as a complete fit specification.
