According to this link: http://www.gore-tex.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ContentGView?storeId=10001 &catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=10408 this Gore-Tex fabric can breath when worn underwater. Anyone have any comments? Also, I think someone raised the issue of windproofness? This link addresses that issue and others: http://www.gore-tex.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ContentGView?storeId=10001 &catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=10255 Craig *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
