I have a Swazi Wapiti in Goretex and despite the fabric appearing to 'wet out', which can make it a bit heavier, it keeps me dry and super cosy. Spendy though.
Also have an ex-Army camo Goretex jacket which was dirt cheap. The fabric is hard as nails and has proven user-friendly so far. Like the Swazi though, it's fairly bulky and heavy. A bit noisier in the bush too.
I guess it's always a compromise of sorts when buying such items, durability vs weight, etc. Those lightweight technotronic ones just don't seem to stand up to the harder yards.
Confused? Good!
