dont. use. goretex.

goretex is garrison kit. You use it when you're standing still in 60mm rainstorms for hours on end to stay dry.

For running around, you want softshell. You actually WANT some of that rainwater to run through the jacket to cool you off. Goretex is only slightly better than a rubber jacket, it breathes, but it doesn't breathe well when the outside of it is already wet.

Just get an OD softshell. I'm never wearing goretex anything ever again.
