What is Gore-Tex?<\/h2>\r\nGore-Tex is the world\u2019s first waterproof, windproof and breathable technology. It is used by leading outdoor brands to create high-performance gear and is found in everything from jackets to pants, gloves, running shoes and boots. And let\u2019s not forget tents, bivvy bags and other types of shelters! The membrane provides comfort, performance and protection and allows outdoor enthusiasts, from keen mountaineers to casual hikers, to enjoy the outdoors even when the weather is at its worst.\r\n\r\nThe brand describes itself as an ingredient brand, and works with various industry leaders such as Salomon<\/a>, Mammut<\/a> and Outdoor Research<\/a> to create products which utilize its technology.\r\n

How Gore-Tex works<\/h3>\r\nEvery inch of the Gore-Tex membrane contains nine billion pores, and each pore is 20 000 times smaller than a drop of water. As such, the tiny holes in the fabric are big enough to allow vapour to escape, but small enough to block water from seeping in. In short, heat and moisture can get out while rainwater can\u2019t get in. The company\u2019s waterproof products are rigorously reviewed and tested, and come with a \u2018Guaranteed to keep you dry\u2019 promise.\r\n

How it started<\/h3>\r\nAs the story goes, Gore-Tex was discovered by accident and out of frustration. After leaving their respective jobs in 1959, William Gore and his wife started their own company hoping to explore the potential of polymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). From their basement in Delaware, the family worked for 10 years before their son Bill, frustrated by his lack of results, yanked at a PTFE rod under heat, producing a strong, microporous structure. This fortuitous event led to the development of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), later to be known as Gore-Tex, the first waterproof, windproof and breathable technology."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Other Gore-Tex innovations","text_content":"

Other Gore-Tex innovations<\/h2>\r\nSince the 1960s, Gore-Tex has continued to innovate. Here are some of its new products and features.\r\n

Gore-Tex Paclite<\/h3>\r\nPaclite is a 2-layer unlined construction. What does this mean? The fabric combines a Gore-Tex membrane and a water-repellent outer layer, both of which are laminated together. An abrasion-resistant treatment is also applied to the inner surface, which eliminates the need for an inner lining.\r\n\r\nThe result is a lightweight, packable and very durable product which can be carried just about anywhere without taking much room in a backpack. Paclite is used in the design of backup jackets and pants, so you\u2019re always ready to face any changes in weather conditions.\r\n

Gore-Tex Surround<\/h3>\r\nUsed in footwear, the Surround technology focuses on breathability. This is a tough balancing act, as running and hiking shoes do need to provide protection from mud, dust and water. However, they also need to remain breathable and comfortable on warmer days.\r\n\r\nThe Surround technology channels heat and moisture away from your feet through small openings in the upper, side and tread soles. However, these openings do not let water in. Shoes featuring this membrane are still guaranteed to be waterproof and to keep your feet dry.\r\n\r\nFor some great waterproof running shoes, have a look at brand New Balance<\/a>.\r\n

Gore-Tex Infinium<\/h3>\r\nWith its Infinium range, Gore-Tex chose to focus on versatility first. The products in this line are designed for comfort first and foremost. As such, people looking for a 100% waterproof garment should stick to the company\u2019s usual range, easily identified by the iconic \u2018Guaranteed to keep you dry\u2019 black diamond logo.\r\n\r\nInfinium products are designed to optimize outdoor adventures without putting waterproofness as a priority. For example, footwear features insulation exactly in the spots where your feet need it, gloves are windproof and touchscreen compatible, and garments are treated so they are lightweight and water repellent in case of light showers."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"What is Gore-Tex laminate?","text_content":"

What is Gore-Tex laminate?<\/h2>\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nGore-Tex is obtained by laminating the thin waterproof membrane onto an outer layer. There are three types of constructions regularly used by the outdoor industry.\r\n

2-layer (2L)<\/h3>\r\nThe waterproof membrane is laminated directly onto the outer layer, and an inner mesh or nylon lining is added for extra comfort. The lining protects the membrane, turning your waterproof gear into a durable piece of kit. This type of construction is slightly bulky, but generally fairly budget-friendly.\r\n

2.5-layer (2.5L)<\/h3>\r\nAgain, the waterproof membrane is glued to the outer layer, but a coating is also applied to the inside to protect the membrane. This eliminates the need for an inner lining. 2.5-layer Gore-Tex gear is lightweight and compact, but it is also less durable in the long run.\r\n

3-layer (3L)<\/h3>\r\nThis construction uses all three layers, i.e. an outer layer, the Gore-Tex membrane and an inner lining, but thanks to high-end technology, these can be fused together to feel like one single layer. Gear made using this type of fabric is lightweight, compact and designed for high performance. It combines the durability of a 2L with the lightness of a 2.5L, although 3L garments can be on the more expensive side.\r\n\r\nFor more tips on how to choose your waterproof jacket<\/a>, read our blog article."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"What is Gore-Tex fabric used for?","text_content":"

What is Gore-Tex fabric used for?<\/h2>\r\n\"Gore-Tex\r\n\r\nOf course, the Gore-Tex membrane can be found in most waterproof outdoor garments such as jackets, pants, hats, gloves and footwear. It is also used to design products such as rock-climbing equipment, bivvy bags<\/a>, shelters<\/a> and sleep systems<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThe military industry utilizes Gore-Tex technology to ensure the comfort and protection of its personnel on the ground. But the use of Gore-Tex technology reaches much further. Did you know that back in 1981, astronauts on NASA\u2019s first space shuttle mission wore spacesuits made with Gore-Tex fabric?"},{"acf_fc_layout":"faq_zone","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","faq_title":"FAQ","faq_text_content":"","post_faq":[{"post_faq_question":"What is so special about Gore-Tex?","post_faq_response":"Gore-Tex is the first waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane technology.
