-- >> Rainsuits *ALWAYS* leak where it would make you most miserable. >> Au Nguyen Au is a very wise man. I can ride all year round in a suit I had tailor-made: Top & bottom of heaviest GoreTex, thinsulate inserts make it toasty at -5F. No zippers, and very few seams, which were supposed to be all sealed. Well, last downpour I found out that one wasn't. You know where. Hot tip on GoreTex: If you're even considering having a suit made for you out of GoreTex (& it's good), do it now! The company has had so many do-it-yourself garments sent in because of leaks, only to find that the seams were at fault, not the material, that they're taking it completely off the dry goods market. Only large garment- making companies that can prove they use heat-sealing will be able to buy it. (This from my tailor, who buys for her dry-goods co-op.) -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 26 Apr 84 [7 Floreal An CXCII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7261 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!ihuxq!ken *** ***
