Choosing the type of GORE-TEX® that fits your needs



What's GORE-TEX® technology?

 Gore-Tex

 

GORE-TEX® is a waterproof and breathable fabric invented by WL Gore and Associates. GORE-TEX® allows you to stay dry during rainy weather but also during intense workouts (since the fabric is made of millions of nano pores that let perspiration's water vapour escape but prevent external moisture from entering the fabric).

 

These fabrics are used for the manufacturing of ski jackets and mountaineering jackets as well as for ski gloves and hikings boots.
