Defense gloves
Defense Tents and Shelters
Law enforcement outerwear
Law enforcement footwear
Ballistic covers for body armor
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.
Please Note:
The Gore-Tex material you purchased is the genuine fabric manufactured by W.L.Gore and Associates, Inc. It was cut off a roll that
should be applied with a Durable Water Repellent
(DWR).
Many GORE-TEX products are treated with an ultra-thin durable water repellent (DWR), a polymer that’s applied to the outermost fabric layer. DWR reduces the surface tension of the fabric, so that water simply rolls off.
DWR ISN’T PERMANENT
Regular wear and tear, exposure to sunscreen lotion, dirt, detergents, insect repellent, other materials can shorten the lifespan of the treatment. If that happens water can saturate the outer fabric of your gear making you feel damp and clammy, as if your gear was leaking.
The good news: restoring the water repellency of your GORE-TEX product is extremely easy.
I wanted you to know the material you purchased is genuine, but needs to have the DWR appli
