Garments made with GORE-TEX® Active fabric are durably waterproof, windproof and extremely breathable – the most breathable fabric in the GORE-TEX® product family. Meeting the intense aerobic demands of the alpine athlete, these fabrics are the ideal solution for highly aerobic done-in-a-day activities, even in bad weather. Garments made with GORE-TEX® Active fabric are lightweight and soft, with excellent next-to-skin comfort, thanks to reliable moisture management. The fabric’s construction keeps your body dry by reducing the accumulation of sweat so you stay cool during activity and warm during cool-down. With GORE-TEX® Active fabric, you can put the garment on, leave it on and focus on the experience rather than your clothing.

With a 3-layer construction that includes GORE-TEX® membrane sandwiched between a soft outer material and a knit polyester backing material for added durability, these garments keep you comfortable and protected from the elements without adding extra bulk or weight. Garments made with three-layer GORE-TEX® fabric are the ideal solution for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy demanding activities in a wide range of weather conditions.

GORE-TEX inserts can have a 2-layer or a 3-layer construction consisting of the microporous GORE-TEX membrane combined with one or two protective non-woven fabrics. Both inserts are shaped like a glove and have adhesive seams. Both also feature special sewing tapes that are used to fix the insert with the outer fabric and the insulating inner lining of the protective glove.
