[Paddlewise] Waxed Cotton in Lieu of Tyvek?

I lived in England and Ireland for a number of years and spent almost every
weekend either shooting pheasant or grouse  or clay shooting. The weather
was always wet, cold and clammy and I was ALWAYS comfortable in my "Greasy
Green", the waxed cotton Barbour that was the standard outdoor garment. It
breathed and with a wool jersey underneath, I was always warm and dry. Every
year or so, I'd spray a new layer of wax and was good to go.  It was loaded
with pockets, including a game pocket, and was light weight enough to shoot
in.

I still have my Barbour and it's as effective as the day it was new.
