GORE-TEX PRO
GORE-TEX is the world's leading waterproof and breathable fabric technology, and GORE-TEX PRO is Gore's highest performance fabric. GORE-TEX PRO utilises a revolutionary multi-layer ePTFE-based membrane system and combines high performance face textiles with their patented Micro Grid Backer technology. The latest generation of GORE-TEX PRO deliver up to 28% more breathability compared to previous versions. The result is better comfort in the most extreme conditions for the professional mountaineer and serious outdoor enthusiast. Out of a fleet of different GORE-TEX PRO fabrics, we choose only options which stand up to sustained use and provide the very highest dependability and breathability.
We have been a brand partner with W. L. Gore for over four decades and were among the first brands in the UK to utilise what was one of the greatest advances in clothing for mountaineering and climbing: the introduction of GORE-TEX. We are one of Gore's leading research and development partners and work closely with them on the development and testing of new fabrics. Indeed, GORE-TEX PRO was developed with us as their sole brand partner in the development of the Most Breathable category.
Gore's legendary "Guaranteed to Keep You Dry" and their exceptionally rigorous lab testing means that Gore-Tex fabrics can be relied on no matter how foul the weather is.
Selecting the right waterproof
Waterproof clothing is deceptively complex: while it’s easy to make something waterproof it isn’t so easy to make it comfortable to wear.
