HOW GORE-TEX WORKS

The very thin GORE-TEX membrane has billions of very small pores. These pores are in a size where a water molecule absolutely not can pass through but still big enough to let moisture and vapour molecules to pass easily. Therefore, we say that GORE-TEX is waterproof and breathable. The breathability allows sweat and steam to escape during strenuous activity. The GORE-TEX lightweight and breathable waterproof membrane is always GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™. Shoes with GORE-TEX is as waterproof as footwear technology allows while still providing comfort and performance.
