personally when im riding i like my gear to be comfortable but not restricting in movement so i like a nice middle ground between the two. unless your in the park and style matters. be comfortable and dry.

Not sure what kind of weather you got in the PNW, so GoreTex might be good enough for you. But where I do my outdoor activities temperatures are extreme and humidity is sky-high. GoreTex just does not cut it in really challenging conditions...

Keywords "knock off". Any of the copycats that work just as well are not cheaper. The cheaper ones suckass.

No, keywords are just as good if not better. Agree most of the cheap stuff sucks, but the higher-end ones are definitely superior to GoreTex.

I spent last season battling it out with pants that restricted my stance. They weren't even that tight really. I grabbed another pair at short notice and they sucked, lesson learnt. This season i'm getting something that I can damn-well move in properly!
