Sportsmansguide currently has new British military surplus desert camo gore-tex jackets and pants advertised. I bought a couple pairs of the pants for $25 each and a back ordered jacket for $60. I don't have them yet, but thought that I would pass on the information to anyone who might be interested.
Jackets = WX2-236237 (M, L, XL)
Pants = WX2-236240 (M, L, XL, 2XL)
They are also selling "windproof" desert camo for similar prices, but it isn't gore-tex.

You're welcome!
My experience with European mil-surp Gore-Tex from France, Germany, and the UK has been good. I did find it kinda ironic that the French CCE Gore-Tex pants that I bought awhile back were made in Germany. Can you imagine the French soldiers who died in the Franco-Prussian, WW1, and WW2 wars rolling in their graves at the thought of French solders wearing German-made military uniforms?

My thanks as well. Picked up a jacket and couple pair of pants. Was hesitant not knowing much about the product but brand new mil spec gore-tex at these prices is hard to pass by.

I received the pants and jacket. Size wise,the jacket will only be useful in warmer weather, but the pants will work year 'round. I'm impressed by the obvious quality, just need to have my Wife sew suspender buttons on the pants.

THANK YOU !!!!!!
I just ordered a pair of the pants. With shipping, I'm right at $35 - what an amazing price. I've found *new* mil-spec g-tex rain-gear to be great stuff.
