GORE-TEX® Performace Comfort

The GORE-TEX® membrane is an exclusive technical fabric processed heat sealed and contains about 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square centimeter. These pores are about 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times larger than a water vapor molecule. So while water droplets cannot penetrate the GORE-TEX® membrane, water vapor, i.e. sweat in gaseous form, escapes easily.

• Moderate insulation to keep feet dry and comfortable during outdoor activities in a variety of weather conditions.
• Moderate insulation for cool and changeable temperatures.
• Optimal combination of breathability and insulation, for warm, dry feet even in unstable weather conditions.
• Long lasting waterproofing.
