Gore-Tex products offer you durable and reliable weather protection. The Gore-Tex membrane forms the heart of this process. It consists of an extremely thin layer of stretched polytetrafluoroethylene and has 1.4 billion pores per square centimeter. This makes Gore-Tex materials both breathable and waterproof and windproof. The Gore-Tex membrane is finally bonded to the lining and outer material of the respective product, this is called Gore-Tex laminate. The upper material also has an extremely thin water-repellent impregnation so that water always beads off instead of penetrating. Thus Gore-Tex products offer individual solutions for your activities and special climatic conditions.
