its a much more fun way of testing than goretex does it.
Apparently, "Event" fabric doesnt wet out (therefore preventing it from being breathable) like goretex does, and its more breathable and FAR cheaper (Rab Momentum - £130)
I wish Goretex did work all the time. I have had two pairs of Danner boots with Gore-tex. Both sets have leaked. I returned the first pair in exchange for the second. I didn't even both returning the second.
yup it sure does ..i got old british army kit and used it while sitting on the bow of my cousins boat not the best day to play with White horses but i stayed dry 20 notts into the waves for an hour before coming back to harbour @ Brighton
Gore Tex is basically rubber. It doesn't breath at any noticeable rate either.

I've done the same (not with this enourmous wave... xddd) and I can say it too: "Gore-tex: Guaranteed to keep you dry"!

The material is not going to make up for crappy construction.

the boots are a different story from jackets or pants
boots have to take more abuse and thats why they will leak after a couple runs, im trying to find one that will atleast last 2yrs without leaking
