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? -John Fox (in dry Colorado, where I still sweat more than I like! :-) 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! :-) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
