It really isn't that breathable

Curious technical statement. It drives water and sweat and moisture outward. I once wore wigwam wool socks with a pair of boots that had goretex... went riding on a motorcycle. Feet froze to death. Painful, even.

No lie, I then swapped to birkenstocks, same socks. Feet warmed right up the second the windchill stopped. Roasting warm feet.

So I would contest that goretex is not breathable. In terms of actual real-life experience. But I like seeing the other shite you posted there. That's gonna be worth some research on my end.

I like that you still support it.

Also, Marmot is the shite. Totally agree with you there.
