GORE

GORE materials, most notably GORE-TEX, represent a revolutionary advancement in functional consumer goods. What makes GORE products particularly extraordinary is their foundation in expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), a material with a microscopic structure containing over 9 billion pores per square inch. These pores are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet but 700 times larger than a water vapor molecule, creating the unique combination of waterproofness and breathability that has transformed outdoor apparel and footwear. Beyond the outdoor industry, GORE technologies appear in medical implants, industrial filters, aerospace components, and cables. The material’s exceptional durability has established a reputation for long-lasting performance backed by the famous “Guaranteed to Keep You Dry” promise. As consumer expectations for technical performance increase, GORE materials continue to evolve with more sustainable manufacturing processes and recycled content, maintaining their position at the premium end of functional materials.
