Islander,
You're right on the money. I've been bouncing emails with a Technical guy at Cabelas and he states the dry plus and goretex membranes are similar. The difference being the holes in the goretex membrane are MUCH smaller.

I'm sending my dry plus back and getting MT50 Whitetail extreme gore-tex gear.

Just for the hassel cabelas sent me a $35 gift card. As awlays they've made me happy.

case close boys. If you're sitting in rain, spend the $$$ and get Gore-tex
