I don't think goretex would breath enough to make much of a difference. Breathing in goretex means that it allow water vapor to pass through the membrane. The higher water vapor pressure inside the jacket "pushes" the water vapor through. The amount of actual air transfer is rather small. I doubt you would notice a difference. I've been using a "mini skirt" in warm/hot flat water conditions and really like it. It keeps the drips and misc splashes out of the boat and the sun off my legs, yet allows free air movement in and out of the cockpit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "PJ Rattenbury" <ratten_at_uow.edu.au> Subject: [Paddlewise] Use of Goretex in Sprayskirt *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
