Gore-tex XCR that is! I have a new love, and her name is gore-tex. Seriously, this stuff is amazing. I can run through creeks in my gore-tex shoes without a drip of water reaching my socks. It breathes well, and looks cool. Basically it is the best material I have ever worn.

I recently purchased a Orage Maverick triple-layer gore-tex coat too. The thing was darned expensive, but honestly.. its worth every last penny. Looks great, windproof and waterproof. I literally ran my arm underwater for a while and nothing gets through. Amazing.

I really want some gore-tex gloves.... but those will have to wait. This stuff seems to be worth more than gold per oz.

Anyone else share my love?
