Goretex is crap.
Its got 30 years and hundreds of millions of dollars of marketing sayings its the best, thats it. About half the alternate waterproof breathable materials beat it in breathabilty.
Search for "eVent" material which is the most breathable, propore as a good one although it rips, and there is a "toray" material that is used a lot also that works much better than goretex.
If rain is not that common, just get a really good softshell from material like schoeller dry skin extreme.
Beyondfleece makes nice custom ones
