Black & Gray Gore-Tex

This is the real material, you can’t buy anywhere else. Used in high quality goods, because it’s the best there is. This can’t be bought in the usual retail stores. Now you can offer this same high quality material in your designs.

This Gore-Tex 3 bar knit waterproof fabric’s color is black and gray. It requires the DWR (durable water repellency) to be applied to outside.

WATERPROOF

Waterproof products shouldn't leak - and, what is more, that this quality is retained over the entire lifetime of the product. The durability of waterproofness is really what sets GORE-TEX products apart. GORE-TEX fabrics withstand water-entry pressures encountered during severe weather and in demanding applications. However, a product’s waterproof protection depends on more than just the fabric. That's why all new GORE-TEX product prototypes from our manufacturing partners are put though a battery of tests in our labs. Only if they meet our strict weatherproof performance standards are they approved.

WINDPROOF

Although textiles like microfibers, closely woven fabrics, and many fleece materials are often considered windproof, even light winds can penetrate most of these fabrics, making you feel chilled and uncomfortable. In technical terms, a fabric can only be considered truly windproof if its air permeability is 1.0 cfm (volume of air that passes through one cubic foot of fabric in one minute) or less. All GORE-TEX products meet or exceed this standard.

BREATHABLE

“Breathability” is one of the industry's most misunderstood terms. It is not, as many believe, about a fabric's ability to let air move through it, rather it refers to how well it lets your sweat escape in the form of moisture vapor. Our standards require that during heavy exertion our fabrics must breathe well enough to allow sweat to evaporate easily.

When you're active, your skin removes excess heat via perspiration. To avoid uncomfortable sweat buildup, the GORE-TEX membrane allows the evaporating moisture to escape through the fabric. This breathability leads to more comfortable and drier skin, even during high exertion.
