I know it does not sound like an important question like building on mars, venting roofs, cracks in concrete or who will win the election, but here in the northwest the rain season is upon us. The local shop advises against silkscreen or embroidary on gore tex because of the way the material works, but is stating that only based on thoughts and not any thing written or experience. Any ideas ?

Go to LL Bean web site. They have online help - live chat - and I'm sure they can answer or will find the answer - even if you have to tell them you bought something there you want to put a logo on.
*How much embroidery or silkscreen ? Goretex works on the principal of tiny holes that are too big for water to go through, but air can. Silkscreening fills in the little holes, so that kills the air-passage properties; large amounts of embroidary makes a lot of large holes in the fabric and negates the water-proofing.
*You wear Goretex to frame in, Josh?
*hey jimgreat to hear from you againI hope all went well with Jon C and his projectGore tex paints last about as long as this messagebut coats are greatthey do not let water in and they let the sweat out
*How about going to the source? The GoreTex web site, or 800 number? Don't have it in front of me but a quick search or looking at a label the next time you are in a store should do it. Then you will Really know.
*Get your logo screened onto a GoreTex patch using GoreInk. Then adhere the GorePatch to the GoreJacket with GoreGlue. Then to freak everyone out vote for BushCheney on 11/7.But seriously though, I use a post-stormseal Patagonia Skanorak as my Arizona Summer Monsoon jacket, from when they switched to their version of "GoreTex." It works as well for working-walking as it does for 3 weeks pushing water from Victoria up to Hardy. And when you think about it, spending three hundred for a jacket that keeps you dry while you're earning the three hundred makes just about perfect sense now don't it?
*Sure! After all, I'm sure Al has already taken credit for inventing GoreTex too!
*hehehe....
