Hello

I have head that fabrics used in breathable drysuits
(like Gortex, Triton, Tropos and others) can get
"clogged" with salt when used in a salt water
environment.  Is this true?  If yes, which fabric is
least susceptible to this problem?  How do you wash
out the salt to return the garmet to make it "like
new" again?

Derek
