Good afternoon Dave and others -
   
  Help me to understand how the the Gore-tex wears out. i uderstood the Gortex was laminated between other fabrics, interior and exterior. 
  Does the Gor-Tex fail to preform as advertised? Doesn't Gore-Tex have a warrenty on the products? 
  What type of seals are on your drytops? Tell me again the products you are using.
  Appreciate the clarification. 
  Thank you.

Myth. The seals on my drytops last longer than the Goretex.
