	NRS has been carrying drytops and drysuits with the eVent beathable fabric for a little while now and I am looking for some feedback on users who have used both eVent and Gore-Tex.   I'm currently on the market for a new drytop or drysuit and was wondering if eVent holds up as well and/or breathes as well as the Gore-Tex.   Pointing me in the direction of a previous discussion on this same topic would do. TIA,  ryan

They're both a waste of money. DavidWeber New

disagree, at least for the SE DangerJudy New

That's kind of a different issue though... DavidWeber New

I have a nylon kokatat that I never wear DangerJudy New

You obviously have a flawed boat/skirt combo jkodadek New

Wish I knew your secret.... hardboater New

Can the membrane in breathable equipment tear without the outter shell tearing? hardboater New

Yes... jkodadek New

Well, in either case, I guess I'll be sending mine back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement. hardboater New

I'd wash & dry it first, then refresh the DWR. <NT> tcookson New

Well... KenDriscoll New

Which is what I *would* have said had I the time to articulate it properly. DavidWeber New

but you said they were a waste of money... HillHarman New

Portaging I'll give you... DavidWeber New

Have you ever used a goretex drysuit/drytop? HillHarman New

The big question...has he ever used a goretex dry* on a big mission where there is lots of scouting, safety, and portage jkodadek New

Well, your little dig aside there... DavidWeber New

research in a lab means nothing HillHarman New

Well, first of all.... DavidWeber New

You still aren't answering the question... HillHarman New

Well then don't take my word for it... DavidWeber New

Find an experiment where they've faithfully replicated a kayaking environment HillHarman New

Basically. IMO, breathability is important in a drysuit but isn't worth ... davegg New

???Overkill??? RandyH New

Slightly different deal there though.... hardboater New

What a ridiculous assertion jkodadek New

Hah! You're right I was being melodramatic. But I stand by it... DavidWeber New

Thermal gradient (not pressure) is the key to Gore-Tex breathability snowwrestler New

Gore-tex can breathe under water!? DavidWeber New

It's true snowwrestler New

Huh... DavidWeber New

Well if you understand the chemistry, the parlor trick isn't necessary <NT> snowwrestler New

And just so you don't think I'm making this up snowwrestler New

I simply do not believe it. DavidWeber New

Yeah, I'm weighing in again snowwrestler New

yeah... DavidWeber New

Cool. I'm interested to hear more about eVent snowwrestler New

Impressive, the vapor force is strong with you!   <NT> justsurf New

eVent is a lot more breathable then Gore-tex, yet still just as waterproof. nathans213 New

Nice plug, care to mention that NRS sponsors you to plug their stuff? G New

ummm KenDriscoll New

It's true Karlmoserh2o New

Yeah KenDriscoll New

You pick your warrior Karlmoserh2o New
