Goretex is go !

Tried out the new Goretex jacket and trousers in a 180 mile motorway run. The British weather behaved just right with clear blue skies and hot sun one minute and sudden cold downpours the next. Immediate impression is of how light and comfortable it all is, just like wearing ordinary clothes. Surprised how much the lack of tugging, flapping trousers reduces noise and stress with no more sudden tugs and clonks. Great to have built in climate control as it was both cool when hot and warm when cold. How does it know ? Totally waterproof in downpours. The suspect cuff tabs stayed velcroed and doubts about over tight collar dispelled as the material is soft and squashy. Best of all I now arrive with a dry back as the Forcefield protector now gets ventilated so no more shirt changing in car parks. So far very pleased disproving doubts that is was all techno bullshit. Great case of getting what you didn't pay for - e bay rocks !
