Chris,
Some reasonably knowledgeable folks I spoke with have an issue with so-called "breathable" materials like Gore-Tex.
I was told (I'm just relaying what I heard) that breathable materials don't stay breathable for very long in saltwater environments - even with repeated cleaning.
The salt allgedly clogs up the pores in the material like epoxy in a pipe.
If you hear differently from the manufacturer - let me know!
