  • Gore Tex is basically rubber. It doesn't breath at any noticeable rate either.

  • Only 2 seconds of exposure?

  • @streetpunk99 LOL BEAR GRILL FIRST SURVIVAL VIDEO

  • I got my US army parka Gore-Tex Gen I and I am not really happy with it, when Ii pours heavy rain goretex starts to leak in some area

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

  • 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)

  • When I first got my gore tex nike trainers I was amazed at how they were so waterproof and breathable...But after a while they start to leek.

  • ;D ;D ;D

  • Get Salomon B52 GTX - it's TOTALLY waterproof!

  • 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

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

  • 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

  • That's crazy.

  • omg that must have been his shower for the day xD

  • Was an extreme day to say the least
