The new GORE-TEX products introduce an innovative membrane
We believe we have a responsibility to help find solutions that lead to a better tomorrow. The ePE (expanded polyethylene) membrane in new GORE-TEX products is a key milestone in our responsible performance journey, providing high-performing, durable products that are engineered for long product life.
The all-new GORE‑TEX ePE membrane is light and thin, yet strong, and it's PFC free* with a reduced carbon footprint**. To form new GORE-TEX products, the membrane is combined with carefully selected textiles including recycled, solution or undyed textiles***.
* advances Gore Fabrics´ goal of being free of PFCs of environmental concern over the lifecycle of its consumer products. In this case, the goal is accomplished using nonfluorinated materials. Learn more on https://gtx.is/pfcec
** Through laminates with a new lower-mass membrane and select textile(s) (per Higg MSI)
