I brought 4 pair of gloves with me to Idaho last year. Two of them were Gore-Tex but they soaked through. All 4 of us had issues with boots, gloves or rain gear on that trip.


What sort of shelter are you staying in (Camper, tent, hotel, etc?) and how do you go about drying wet clothes each eve?

Hard for Gore-Tex to "breathe" your exertion/sweat out when it's totally soaked from the outside already so you end up sweating it wet from the inside IMO/IME. Boots, gloves, coats, pants, doesn't matter.
