Well, I first probably look at the style and price. Then the tech stuff. I wouldn't ride in something I don't think is nice. For sure not. And ofcourse if it's on sale, then there is no question about buying it. As for waterproofness - that works good in the winter. But for summer riding nothing lasts dry. Really...everyone I talked to was wet. Even really expensive brands like oakley. So that's why I don't look at the paremeters so much as I used to.
