Construction
- Combination of soft and high-performance face textiles, membranes and special lining
- 2-layer construction: a specific GORE-TEXﾮ membrane is bonded to the outer material and protected on the inside by a separate lining
- 3-layer construction: a specific GORE-TEXﾮ membrane is bonded to an outer material and an inner lining
- Unique GORE-TEXﾮ liners are especially attractive for fashion applications when more design freedom is required
- Special GORE-SEAMﾮ tape technology ensures all seams are 100% waterproof
GORE-TEXﾮ PACLITEﾮ
Gores advanced processing techniques used to apply the oleophobic substance and to integrate the carbon allow the membrane to retain adequate durability. No separate lining is required which means that GORE-TEXﾮ PACLITEﾮ clothing is lighter and smaller to pack away than products made of 2-layer or 3-layer laminates.

What's the difference between Coolmaxﾮ fabrics and other polyester fabrics?
WINDSTOPPERﾮ ePTFE
Using the same technology that created the revolutionary GORE-TEXﾮ membrane, W.L. Gore developed an ultra-lightweight WINDSTOPPERﾮ ePTFE membrane designed specifically to be used in conjunction with fleece. Proven to be twice as warm as standard fleece in cold wind, WINDSTOPPERﾮ fleece stops the wind completely yet still allows body vapour to escape. Most other windproof fleeces are only marginally breathable. WINDSTOPPERﾮ fleece maintains its original windproofness after extended use and washing.

This softness achieved in the manufacture of PrimaLoftﾮ makes it very comfortable to wear and increases mobility by reducing friction of movement.
Coolmaxﾮ
Coolmaxﾮ fabrics are specially designed to provide not only superior moisture management, but also to enhance the wearer's comfort. The specially-engineered fibers using Coolmaxﾮ fabrics provide enhanced breathability (called "air permeability" by the techies) that differentiate Coolmaxﾮ from generic polyester fabrics, which use standard round fibers. Air permeability is just one of our key performance tests that fabrics must pass before they can be sold as "Coolmaxﾮ". And, remember, that all of the benefits of Coolmaxﾮ fabrics are permanently built right into the fiber, requiring no chemical treatments like those other wicking fabrics.
Can Coolmaxﾮ be worn year-round?
Yes. In cold weather, Coolmaxﾮ is a great first layer, especially during high aerobic activities. It's superior moisture management will keep the bone-chilling perspiration away from your skin and move it to the outer layers for evaporation. Remember, you can't stay warm if your body's wet!
