There is no such thing as the perfect camouflage pattern for every environment. A camouflage that blends seamlessly into dense summer woodland may become far more noticeable once the vegetation dries out, while a pattern designed for arid terrain can stand out after heavy rainfall darkens the landscape.
For some people, GORE-TEX is like a magic word, and their expectations are accordingly high. But how does the material actually perform? Where and when is it the right choice? And last but not least – what are the limits of GORE-TEX?
