No I have not read the label and I'm happy you are pleased with your experiences. I have spent years wearing Gortex gear as a condition of my profession, sometimes for months at a time in a variety of environments. I and others in the same conditions did not have the same results as you; we got wet at times. I am not saying Gortex is a horrible product. I continue to use it in some pieces of kit, but it is not perfect in my experience.
My point was (and sorry for being crabby - my most favorite bike ever was leaving yesterday to go to it's new owner.. and I'm waiting for the replacement to become my most favorite bike ever) - that Gore "Guarantees" the product. I can believe you experienced leaks, I do sometimes in my Aerostitch, but it's never been the fault of the GoreTex, it's been the design and my use of the garment (sometimes not zipping all the way up, or tucking the collar under my helmet lip. Is anything perfect? I'd posit no, but GoreTex at least gives it a good try.
