GORE-TEX® Technology: The Dry Truth
If you’re looking to stay comfortable amidst gale-force winds and torrential precipitation—skip the cold torture and opt for the brand with the waterproof breathable guarantee.
GoreTex
In the winter I've been using the GoreTex Next-To-Skin (N2S) technology which is great when the temperatures are above 20 to 30 F (depending on wind). But below that, I need more layers and my clothes get sweat soaked and then I get chilled down if I slow down or stop.
How can I not end up with 5 pounds of sweat in my clothes when it's 10 degrees out ?
Thanks !
