    RE: wading

    Goretex material is a waterproofing material but it's not an insulation type material. It's normally used with Thinsulate or other types of insulating materials for winter wear.

    Goretex is great for keeping you dry if it's not compromised. I have two Goretext rain suites that won't fit me anymore. I found that I can wash them in "NIKWAX, TX.DIRECT WASH-IN" solution to restore their waterproofing. So I was told by the saleman at the Outdoor shop. That or I could spray them with a spray on waterproofing solution.

    Finding clothing with both Goretex outer wear and thinsulate insulation is costly.

    I ended up going with a substitute for the Goretex Waterproofing in my new camo 4/1 parka. I'll find out if these substitude materials (Hydroproof Ultra) are as good as they advertise. I hope that they are.
