I have both Cabelas Dry Plus and Cabelas Gortex. The Gortex is far better for keeping dry. The dry plus is cheaper and somewhat water resistent and is also quite wind resistent. If I need something to wear in a driving rain I wear the gortex. If all I need is something to keep the wind out and provide a little rain protection I wear the Dry Plus. I feel the gortex lasts a lot longer than the dry plus but both have their place.
