Salt ruins the water proofing on goretex


Not heard that before, but a quick google says it doesn't

Will salt water damage my GORE-TEX® garment?
No. Salt water does not contaminate, clog the pores of, decrease the breathability of, alter, or harm GORE-TEX® fabric in any way. So go ahead and enjoy that ocean fishing or boat trip.


But then it was found on the gore tex website, so I'll take it with a pinch of salt Laughing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

All of the above. Although, having spent a whole night on the M11. I now include toilet roll, Johnsons 'botty wipes' and thick socks. You may wish to include.

Okay Alex
Her Ladyship tells me it is one of the chemicals they use in the manufacturing process that helps these tissues remain moist in their packaging that reacts with the sensitive skin around the anus. This inflammation encourages the development of haemorrhoids. She said that if you do use these "booty wipes" use them sparingly and infrequently particularly if you suffer from any pre-existing dermatological problems.

She advises that it is healthier to just use clean paper toilet roll, or, if that's not available, in winter use handfuls of fresh clean snow and dry with a paper handkerchief afterwards. In summer any unsoiled soft large leaf green vegetation. Finally, and in a rather dismissive growl (I think she thought I was examining this issue too deeply) she said - I quote: "use your common sense."
