Opinions on Gore-Tex and similar materials?
« on: Jan 10, 2012, 09:20 PM »
What's everyone's take on Gore-Tex and the other breathable fabrics used in the better clothing and footwear. Personally I think it over rated ,over priced and sucks. Never breathed for me, boots, jackets, bibs I end up soaked with sweat in any of it and I'm not a sweater. Might as well put a trash bag over my base layers.

There's cheaper stuff out there that works just as well. IMO...water/windproof is...well... Got Cabelas brand at half the price and it works for me.
