NYCkayaker DRYSUITs QT ...

Has kokatat changed the Gore-Tex material it uses for its dry suits?
the original material really didn't breathe, even though all the
marketing hype said it did.
My understanding is Gore-Tex is it only breathes when the interior and
exterior temperature is ambient. That may work in warmer climates, but
than you wouldn't want a dry suit on. I also don't think it breathes
when there is so much space between the suit and the inner clothing
layer.
It may still be better than the other materials, or it may be marketing
hype.
