I went through more generations of Goretex than Star Trek! First it was sealing the untaped seams,carefull washing and finally utter failure of the material.I was still getting wet.Then I had "vapor barrier"technology thrown at me.I am not a hamhock in soup!I was about to go back to my 19th century riding slicker and canvas and wool blanket bedroll! then I spent one night up a redwood tree in a wiggys bag.
