Hi All, Has anyone experience of use of the above? I need a new skirt and Kokatat have a Goretex skirt which looks OK. I understand use of Goretex in saltwater is not an issue. That is, I have read somewhere that saltwater has no deletrious effect on the Goretex membrane and as long as you wash in fresh water. But what about the wear issue? How does Goretex stand up to abrasion? I have a walking parka made out of Reflex which is supposed to be a tougher version of breathable membrane than Goretex. The price difference between a standard neoprene skirt and a similar model Goretex is about thirty bucks. Why consider Goretex? Because I normally paddle in fairly high air and water temperatures and the breathable aspect appeals.
