GORE-TEX PERFORMANCE SHELL Benefits

Key advantages

  • Provides breathable comfort and durably waterproof protection
  • Designed for a wide range of outdoor activities

CONSTRUCTION

GORE-TEX PERFORMANCE SHELL Construction
  • Combination of soft and high-performance face textiles, membranes and special lining
  • 2-layer construction: a specific GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded to the outer material and protected on the inside by a separate lining
  • 3-layer construction: a specific GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded to an outer material and an inner lining
  • Unique GORE-TEX® liners are especially attractive for fashion applications when more design freedom is required
  • Special GORE-SEAM® tape technology ensures all seams are 100% waterproof

INNOVATION

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. Garments with GORETM Comfort Mapping Technology often feature advanced seam-sealing techniques to reliably combine different fabric types inside the garment.

AIRVANTAGE® Insulation Technology

Control your comfort using a patented adjustable insulation system. Simply inflate by blowing into the valve, and deflate by releasing the valve. Now you can easily adapt to changing conditions without the need to add or remove garment layers.

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 construction techniques.
