I agree
@rwthomas1 we're all different.
Although I have two "Waterproof" textile jackets, both Hein Gericke, I can't say I like the thinking behind modern textiles that allow water through to the inner membrane. The outer layers can hold gallons of water and I'm not exaggerating. It can make it a little tricky finding somewhere to hang a jacket to drip/run in a hotel that probably weighs around 100 lbs.
I treat with NikWax every season but it makes no difference in this respect.
As an aside I have a 3 layer Taslan Gortex (I think) walking jacket that must be 30 years old, still like new and doesn't let a drop of water through. Why can't this technology be used in motorcycle gear?
