The GORE-TEX brand – Sustainability concept

Clothing, gloves and shoes made of GORE-TEX materials are durably waterproof, windproof and breathable. GORE-TEX products are not only hard-wearing and durable. They are also produced sustainably and offer you maximum protection and comfort.

​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.

Sustainability

There is more behind the brand promise "Together, improving life": For over 40 years the producers of GORE-TEX have been manufacturing durable and high quality products, tested in the toughest conditions to support any adventure.

PERFORMANCE REDEFINED goes further than durability and quality. GORE-TEX is convinced, that good performance is linked to the well-being of the environment. Therefore the brand contributes to a healthy climate, a thriving environment, and fair working conditions. Through this approach the longevity of the products is increased, and the well-being of people is promoted.

Protect the environment

A central element of GORE-TEX is the protection of the environment.The brand avoids the use of environmentally harmful PFAs in the manufacturing of its products and is continuously striving to further reduce CO2 emissions along the value chain. Besides, the brand aims to reduce its environmental footprint by extending the lifespan of its products.

Extend product lifetime

The concepts of hardwearing and durability apply to all GORE-TEX products, reflecting the sustainability focus of the brand. The longer a product is in use, the better it is for the environment. Product durability is firmly anchored in the company's sustainability strategy.

Protect the Human

The company enables people all over the world to spend more time outdoors in all weathers thanks to its highly functional products. Protecting people is the company's mission and the core of its brand. The company's commitment to protecting people goes beyond the weather and includes a commitment to fair working conditions and a safe working environment.

Innovation for people and environment

The GORE-TEX brand has taken the next step towards greater sustainability and has developed a new material platform based on expanded polyethylene (ePE). The new ePE membrane enables high-performance and durable products that will accompany their owners for many years. The very light, thin yet strong GORE-TEX membrane made from ePE is PFAS-free* and has a reduced CO2 footprint**.

* Manufactured without intentionally added per- and polyfluorinated substances; may still contain traces

** Due to the innovative membrane and selected textiles (according to Higg MSI)

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
  • Ideal for a wide range of weather conditions and activities
