www.wiggys.com has extensive archived newsletters. Jerry is opinionated to the point of combativness (my kind of guy) but knows his stuff. I bought a first generation parka shell. I was a little put off when the saleman mentioned I needed seam sealer glue AFTER I paid for it and when I asked what the HUGE underarm zippers were for he got occupied with another customer. I learned soon enough, the thing leaked through the seams in every place I missed with the glue and then overheated in spite of opening those huge zippers. Goretex does not work as claimed and even the demonstration ad was admittedly 'enhanced.' Goretex is on what, it's 3rd generation now? Gone are the glues, replaced by factory taped seams as an 'extra' but now we have a special soap to clean the easily clogged and soiled micropores. The reallity is what keeps rain out will also keep perspiration IN. We try different strategems of drafty ponchos or truly effective bibpants and Jackets. I finally figured out you do what needs doing and then crawl into a shelter to dry out and boil up hot food.
