And help block some of that pint of sweat from escaping. I personally think a
goretex lining is more an advertising gimmick than a valuable addition to boots.
I want a boot that dries out quickly because mine always get wet -- from sweat,
from crossing streams and from heavy rains and wet snow. Goretex makes drying
slower in my experience.
