What are opinions on Gore and the like? I suspect the consensus will be that it's overpriced. There was a Gore shell on Amazon at a pretty good discount, so I thought I'd give it a try. If it breathes, it's hard to tell, and mine gets damp on the inside; I'm not sure whether it's from condensation or leakage. Still, it's not bad in cool weather, for wet and wind, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it.
I'm sitting in my office looking west out the window at the rain, just waiting it out. It isn't as torrential as the radar would suggest.
