response to stream fishing
INTERESTING RESPONSE TO THE STREAM FISHING COMMENTARYWiggy’s,FYI, I have never owned any Gore-Tex garment that remained water proof and was breathable. Yes it would shed water in the beginning, but with regular use (not abraded) water would eventually pass through as if it never was water proof.

How many of you have used waders for years and have in recent years gone from the neoprene fabric made waders to lighter nylon that are made from a three layer laminate containing a ptfe film commonly known as Gore-Tex or any of their [...]

However, one contestant Mike from Colorado did come to my factory to purchase a bag [...]
stupidity
STUPIDITY PERMEATES THE OUTDOOR INDUSTRYI must be missing the boat when it comes to offering water-proof protection with breathable technology.

Other times I will be contacted via e [...]
further your education about bogus rainwear fabrics
