GORE-TEX Technologies by Activity

as you know, Gore makes a range of technologies to keep you protected. This season, as we head into the summer months, we’ll be focusing on running and hiking and the key technologies to keep you comfortable while doing these activities.

 
 

 
 

Running Technologies (Trail & Road)

GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER

In cool and windy weather conditions, lightweight windproof and water-resistant GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER® protects your body from heat loss and moisture control for better comfort. The soft and versatile GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER® technology is also highly breathable, making it perfect for high aerobic activities. Created using an ultra-thin protective ePTFE layer laminated to textiles with softness and stretch, it offers windproof protection exactly where needed. Gore’s membrane technology has billions of pores that are 900 times larger than water vapor molecules, so even though wind can’t get in, moisture from sweat vapor can easily get out. A great option for when the weather won't make up its mind on cold spring morning runs.

GORE-TEX invisible fit Footwear

GORE-TEX Invisible Fit Footwear was created to make the GORE-TEX waterproof membrane feel invisible to the runner. Lightweight and expertly integrated, the award-winning technology provides the same fit comfort of the non-waterproof version of the running shoe with no wrinkles or noise. The construction features a lightweight technology with low water pick up, a fast dry out time and includes the same durable waterproof protection and GORE-TEX Guaranteed to Keep You Dry Promise. Whether you’re running through dewy grass on an early spring morning or heading out on a muddy and slushy trail run, GORE-TEX Invisible Fit Footwear for running will keep your feet comfortable for miles upon miles.
