WHAT IS GORE-TEX?

GORE-TEX is a highly durable, breathable, waterproof, and windproof fabric. Gore-tex material is made from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is generally made for outdoor clothing, footwear, and accessories.

IS GORE-TEX 100% WATERPROOF?

Yes, GORE-TEX products are generally guaranteed to be waterproof, windproof, and breathable. 

WHY IS GORE-TEX SO EXPENSIVE?

GORE-TEX is generally more expensive because of the high standards and restrictions that the products are made in, which guarantee lifetime waterproof and windproof.  

HOW LONG WILL GORE-TEX LAST?

GORE-TEX products should remain waterproof for 3-5 years but could easily last for 10 years or more if taken care of. 

HOW TO WASH GORE-TEX?

Depending on the care label of each product, GORE-TEX products can be washed in a washing machine. Be sure to close all zippers, snaps, and velcro closures, and do not turn the jacket or pants inside out to protect the membrane. 

IS GORE-TEX BAD FOR HOT WEATHER?

No, due to the breathability of the material, GORE-TEX can be worn all year round without any damage.
