Lightbulb Dare the rain, with GORE-TEX® treated fabric

Folks, I need to know if any online indian store that sells GoreTex treated waterproof pant. Kindly post your suggestions. It shouldn't be a costly affair, I hope, but how much would these stuff cost (rough estimate)?

Any garment with a Gore-Tex membrane will be expensive. At least a few thousand rupees - unlike a lot of other waterproof solutions, Gore-tex is guaranteed waterproof with breathability. It comes at a considerable cost. It is not a chemical treatment, but a thin layer of fabric(Gore-Tex) which is bonded to the main fabric of the jacket/pants.

I don't know of any online store, but I recall one or two adventure stores in Bangalore selling Goretex lined jackets, I can check whether they sell pants too.
