So I'm looking (in vain) for a ski/snowboard pant - - - khaki, insulated, cargo-pants with Gore-Tex. I have, however, found a lot that meet the above criteria but with Teflon coating instead of Gore-Tex.
Anybody have any Teflon outerwear? Any good?

Teflon will not last anywhere near as long.
Membrains like goretex (hellytech, h2no, membrain etc etc) are always better than coatings when it comes to wind/water proofness and longevity and virtually always better for breathability.
Goretex IS a teflon layer laminated to the fabric. If you are talking about pants with a thin teflon coating, they will not be very similar to goretex, but if it has the specs in mm of teflonm then you should be set if it is somewhere over 10,000

Muchas gracias mis amigos!
