Dry and waterproof are mutualy exclusive. If they are waterproof then
you will seat all in the inside anyway.


Isn't that the purpose of Gore-Tex? It sure works for boots and other
clothing.


That's the purpose, but it doesn't work when it's raining. If it's
raining, then the relative humidity is pretty close to 100%, which
means that moisture inside the garment won't be able to diffuse out.
So, if it's raining, you're still going to be pretty damp if you're
perspiring on the inside.
