    ? Wierd...

    ... maybe she set the dryer temp all the way to hotter than Hades...

    I dry mine at a moderate setting and haven't had any issues.

    If I am washing normal Goretex I never put them in a dryer at all. They are drip dried. Goretex is laminated to the outer layer with microdots of adhesive. A hot dryer will destroy that layer of adhesion. I dripped dried my Goretex jackets and pants.

    I was carrying some chains without a hook on one end but had chain pockets. this worked good on machinery where the tie down holes were to small for chain hooks to fit thru
