Davidmil, I have a set of Wolfskin clothing with the linings you are questioning. I opted to have the pants lined only with comformax and the jacket to be insulated with Thinsulate ultra and then comformax. I have no way of comparing what the fabric would be like without the linings. All I can tell you is that I've been very pleased in the 2 + seasons I have used it. It is pretty warm, though wool would be much much warmer. The wind protection seems to be where its most noticable. Its a big plus when sitting on a cold windy day to keep it out. Helps you stay a lot warmer.

For a windproof lining that is pretty water resistant, its quiet as anything I've seen. If you've had any experience with Cabelas Dry Plus lining, you know its a little noisy when cold. Comformax does not exibit this at all. In fact, I have the sample material of what it is and it is pretty much a tightly woven cloth material, not a varnish or treated fabric.

The wolfskin, as mentioned is the best material out there IMO. Grey Wolf Woolens will give you clothing that IMO, unless I see otherwise, can't be beat. If you would like, I can post detailed pics of just how well this clothing is put together. Amazing attention to detail and clothing that will hold up for many, many years.
