Block out the elements.

Gear designed for maximum coverage in the most extreme environments.

About the technology.

GORE-TEX membranes are constructed using an extremely thin, microporous design.
These miniature pores are small enough to block wind and water droplets from
entering, but large enough to allow water-vapor escape, helping you stay dry and
comfortable from the inside out. The GORE-TEX membrane is bonded to high-
performance linings and fabrics to create the laminate used in a variety of our
waterproof gear.

For over 50 years, athletes have trusted GORE-TEX layers to keep them protected during
some of the world’s harshest expeditions. Today we continue to use GORE-TEX, GORE-
TEX Pro and WINDSTOPPER® products by GORE-TEX Labs in certain alpine shells,
outerwear and footwear to provide durable, weatherproof options for those pushing the
limits of possibility.
