GORE-TEX®

The GORE-TEX® membrane contains approximately 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square centimeter. These pores are approximately 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, but 700 times larger than a water vapor molecule. Thus, while water droplets cannot penetrate the GORE-TEX® membrane, water vapor—that is, gaseous sweat—escapes easily.

For the footwear sector, GORE-TEX® has developed 3 specific types of laminates, with specific functional properties.
