Good point Matt ,Goretex doesn't work when it gets dirty ,Land Rovers attract mud and muck like a magnet ,hence I don't see it as being very good .
Caminando ,the question was not about motorcycle clothing .
["" I'm looking for a waterproof jacket, not for motorcycling, but rather to pack in my landie for my RTW trip "" ]
I still say that Barbour is good ,one of the reasons being that it will take abuse ,a lot of waterproof fabrics simply do not work in anything other than ideal ,ie clean and non abrasive , conditions .Many synthetic fabrics will cause condensation inside the jacket and you will be just as wet .
I have been getting filthy and wet for a living for 35 years so you never know ,I might have learnt a thing or two - or maybe not ?
