Goretex works by allowing water vapour to escape (sweat) but does not allow water droplets in (rain). The molecules of water vapour are very small, the molecules of water are not so small so only water vapour can pass between the goretex layers.

I was very impressed with my jacket yesterday. Despite the cold and the very heavy rain and even though I had a hoodie on over the top (which got drenched) I remained warm and dry. Not the cheapest of kit but it certainly earned its money yesterday.
