Does anyone find that some of the materials out there that claim to be 100% water proof are actually that??? I bought some 10X raingear that seemed to be pretty good for about two years, but then got saturated on a heavy rain. I tried some of the spray on coatings out there, but none of them really worked.

It just seems to me that the only way to be pretty much sure of being dry is to use gortex.

Comments???? I will be looking to get some packable gear for a trip that I will be taking next year to Colorado.
