You know that one feeling that comes from pulling your lines through the fresh powder off-piste, cruising on the perfectly groomed slope or jibing in the park. No matter if you are a skier, snowboarder or freerider, we all need snowwear in which we can move optimally all day long in sun and snow. With GORE-TEX products, we can concentrate fully on the experience. GORE-TEX materials are permanently waterproof and windproof. At the same time, they are breathable and therefore perfect for boarding and skiing. To be ideally protected even in cold and chilly conditions, moisture is wicked away to the outside and heat is stored. In addition to all these advantages, the company's commitment to the product's sustainability is another plus point.

Technology
How does the GORE-TEX membrane work, and why are so many convinced of it? The basis of all GORE-TEX products is a microporous membrane made of so-called ePTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). It is windproof, waterproof but also permeable to water vapour and therefore breathable. For those who want it even more technical: This membrane has about 1.3 billion pores/cm2. These pores are much smaller than a drop of water so that no water can penetrate into the interior, but that water vapour escapes through them. The "GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY" guarantee is always assured.
Here you can see the advantages of GORE-TEX products at a glance:
- Durable and guaranteed waterproof, windproof and breathable
- Keep you pleasantly dry and provide a comfortable temperature feeling
