Extreme Wet Weather Construction

Garments with this construction are engineered to pass our most aggressive rain test, simulating extended vertical and horizontal wind-driven rain conditions. They deliver superior protection against extended wet weather conditions through the use of advanced garment design techniques.

GORE™ Comfort Mapping® Technology

Improves your comfort through intelligent garment design. Viewing the human body as a map with several different climatic zones, specific GORE-TEX® fabrics are uniquely combined to increase breathability, comfort, warmth, and/or fit, precisely where needed most. Comfort Mapped garments often feature advanced seam-sealing techniques to reliably combine different fabric types inside the garment.
