Then the cape is sewn up with two pieces of the cotton fabric for each piece of the garment so that one piece of cotton faces out, and the other faces in and the treated sides are both inside facing each other...

Thanks, Ron. That is just the information I was looking for. As you said, the copy is confusing in it's description. I detest rubberized or otherwise non-braethable fabrics even if they are airy. However, the way you describe your cape sounds like it has a typical DWR coating on the backsides (which is still breathable). I like Gore-Tex for performance wear, but the fabric used never feels or looks like cotton. I'm definitely considering that Ultimate Rain Cape.
