Has anyone heard of this fabric (Gore-tex)? Have any idea where it or if it can be purchased? How much if you can? :?

Gore tex is a water repellant fabric. I've had jackets made with it, but have no idea where you'd find it. Maybe a place that carries ripstop nylon...

found it, but look at the price! ow, ow, ow!

It's used for outdoors clothes for back packers and the like.

Gortex is sometimes used in surgeons gowns also.
