    Ultrex vs Gortex

    Does anyone have any experience with Ultrex and Gortex. I want to make a sock and would like to go down a route of gortex but if Ultrex would work the same or better than i will go with that.

    This sock will be for winter use only, maybe early spring or late fall.

    The only place i have been able to find gortex anymore is outdoor fabrics (http://www.owfinc.com/fabrics.html).

    If someone know where else i can find them let me know please.

    Thanks

    He's working on winter socks right now. I'll bet he can point you in the right direction.
