DWR will be enough to keep you dry in a light shower, but prolonged
and/or heavy rain will defeat it and the face fabric will "wet
out", becoming staurated. At that point the Goretex is around 100%
of what what keeps you dry, though it won't be "breathing" much at
that point. Still, a little condensation is probably better than a
great deal of rain...
