FABRIC FOR THE FUTURE
INNOVATION MEETS IMPACT
The newest GORE-TEX material with an ePE membrane keeps you dry without PFAS (Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances). It’s a breakthrough in sustainability that we’re committed to bringing to our entire line of GORE-TEX jackets by the end of 2025.

REDUCED WEIGHT. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE. WIN-WIN.
This new ePE membrane technology is lighter and thinner yet just as strong and durable as the materials we used before. We know, we tested it ourselves.

With this new GORE-TEX ePE membrane, we’re able to design an even more efficient shell jacket for mountain athletes. In some jackets, we’ve increased the denier of our face textile, improving the durability while creating a lighter jacket overall.
*Advances Gore Fabrics Division’s goal for being free of PFCs of Environmental Concern (PFCEC) over the lifecycle of its consumer products. In this case, using non fluorinated materials.
