RE: cabelas dry-plus vs goretex
We (the wife and I) give Dry-Plus a HUGE thumbs-up. We live on Kodiak Island...we average 2-3x the rainfall that Seattle gets each year - yeah, it' s wet.
We' ve got Dry-Plus jackets, parkas, and bibs. They work great - we' ve never gotten wet because of the clothing.
Cabela' s is so much more affordable than most items that use Gore-Tex, or at least that' s what we' ve found.
Give it a try - you won' t be disappointed!
