I've recently read that in one man's experience,
Sypatex is more durable than Goretex while giving
no perceptible difference in performance (waterproofness
or breathability). In particular, this author noted
that he's had better luck with Sympatex resisting
the type of delamination failure that you often
get with Goretex (or the coatings) when you
frequently put it under a set of packstraps.

Does anybody out there have any experience with
Sympatex clothing? Any insights?

I have a very bad experience with Sympatex garments (pants and jacket from Halti). After less than 2 hours in a heavy rain, I was totally wet. I never had such a bad experience with Goretex Pro. This latter is just unbeatable in terms of performance.

My experience has been the same. Goretex Pro lasts and lives up to the
claims. Sympatex seems to work at first before it soaks through.
Supposedly reimpregnating your sympatex will help, but even the brand
new stuff is no match for Goretex.
