I wonder if different body types respond differently (novel
idea, huh?) to breathable/non-breathable materials?

I personally can't wear any non-breathable clothing when 
exercising.  If I do it seems my body "panics" and starts
sweating profusely.  Not surprisingly, the same thing happens
when I visit really humid places.  I think my body just doesn't 
like elevated humidity.

Perhaps that's why people's experiences vary so widely with
Gore-tex?

p.s.  Don't think I mentioned it, but someone on the list (I
won't mention names in case this is taboo) convinced me to try
out whitewater kayaking this summer instead of sea kayaking on
lakes.  (I had been asking about the used Edisto's for learning
on?)  Totally made sense.  I hadn't thought that there'd be a
lot of crossover.  So I'll learn some whitewater for the year
I have left here, and then pick up sea-kayaking when I'm closer
to the sea.  Thanks for everyone's help on this!  Now I just
have to wait for the thaw!  :-)
