Subject other technical fabrics to hard use or frequent washing and they may quickly lose effectiveness. Not GORE-TEX® fabrics. Each one is designed to be durably waterproof, windproof, and breathable and maintain its performance for the life of the end product. WATERPROOF The micro-porous structure of the GORE-TEX® membrane is what makes GORE-TEX® fabrics completely waterproof. Each microscopic pore is about 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, which means no external moisture - from rain to snow to that puddle you just stepped in - can penetrate the membrane. WINDPROOF Shivering? It could be the wind-chill effect. This occurs when cold air penetrates your clothing, robbing heat from your body's sensitive micro-climate. To keep you comfortable and protected in the windiest conditions, the GORE-TEX® membrane has been engineered to provide an impenetrable wind shield. Your product breathes, but wind stays out. BREATHABLE The pores in the GORE-TEX® membrane are 700 times bigger than a water vapor molecule, so perspiration can easily evaporate through and you can stay dry from the inside out. Breathability is an important component of comfort when you are active. KLIM® USA • 3753 East County Line Road • Rigby, Idaho 83442 • [p] 208.552.RIDE [7433] • [f] 208.552.1615
