I say that's not much of a problem considering you'd be getting a full gore-tex suit for 40 bucks. I'm still looking on the site but you may be able to get it cheaper. They sell the pants for 15 bucks and a jacket seperate for 20, so you could have a full suit for $35, but they wouldn't be matching. Anyone really care?
Gore-tex is light right?
It depends on how its used in a garment, but it doesn't seem to be touted as the wonder fabric it used to be.
