PRODUCTS COMBINING TECHNICAL EXPERTISE WITH EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY

THE OUTER FABRIC

GORE-TEX® clothing is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) polymer. This treatment is applied to the outer layer of the fabric, causing water to bead on its surface.

THE GORE-TEX® MEMBRANE

At the heart of GORE-TEX® products is the GORE-TEX® membrane, which is placed between the lining and high-performance outer fabric. It contains 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square centimetre, which are 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times bigger than a moisture vapour molecule. This means that the membrane is completely waterproof and breathable guaranteeing optimum thermal comfort.

THE LINING

The separate lining makes the garment more flexible and comfortable. It can also be combined with an insulating layer for increased protection against the cold and humidity.

SEAM TAPE

Moisture can leak through the holes made by needles when seams are sown into garments. That's why long-lasting waterproofing is so important.
GORE-SEAM® TAPE is used on all GORE-TEX® products which are manufactured in approved factories by manufacturers specially trained in this technique.

Remember that although GORE-TEX® products are waterproof, windproof and breathable, they do not guarantee warmth. However, when combined with warm materials such as down, the membrane will provide all the protection you need.

Down is a natural thermal insulator and will protect you against the winter cold and cold temperatures at high altitudes. No other insulating material is as reliable as down, particularly in terms of its warmth-to weight ratio, packability and ability to adapt comfortably to your body. Water, wind, or cold, you'll withstand it all.

DOUBLE PROTECTION: 3 PURPOSES

1. TO BE WATERPROOF

GORE-TEX® fabrics offer truly long-lasting waterproof performance. They prevent any water from penetrating the garment, even when used for long periods of time in tough, extreme conditions.

2. TO BE WINDPROOF

Shivers and discomfort? Rest assured, GORE-TEX® products truly protect you against strong winds. They are equipped with unequalled windproof technology because their air permeability is a maximum of 5l/m²sec (the volume of air that passes through one square metre of fabric in one second).

3. TO BE BREATHABLE

The term 'breathability' is often a source of confusion. It is not about a fabric's ability to let air circulate through it. Rather it refers to a fabric allowing sweat to escape in the form of moisture vapour. In accordance with very specific standards, GORE-TEX® products allow sweat to pass to the outside of the garment during all types of physical exercise.

DOUBLE PROTECTION AND SEASONAL TRENDS

Cold, windy and rainy weather are part of everyday life, so it's important to stay dry and warm whatever the weather. Whether we're on foot, on a bike, in the city or out
exploring, we all need clothes that protect us without compromising on seasonal trends. So you'll be both protected and fashionable.

HOW DO I CLEAN IT?

Carefully read the label on your garment! It indicates optimal washing instructions for your garment. Do not use fabric softener;
this will leave deposits on the fibre, preventing the fabric from breathing.

The golden rule: Never clean or remove stains from your GORE-TEX® product with chlorinated cleaning agents such as bleach.
