    Solid protection. Take your journey further.

    In 2023, the GORE-TEX Brand introduced the innovative Next Gen GORE-TEX Membrane, which is based on expanded Polyethylene (ePE). This membrane is light, thin and strong, enabling durable, waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance. It is PFAS-free* and has a reduced carbon footprint** (per Higg MSI) achieved by its lower material mass along with a new material combination. All Next Gen GORE-TEX Products with ePE membrane products have the GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY promise to ensure you stay dry and comfortable, even in extended periods of heavy rain or snow.

    For almost 50 years, Mountain Equipment and the GORE-TEX Brand have collaborated to create some of the most iconic products for mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. This partnership has enabled us to consistently produce the finest waterproof shells available anywhere today.
