Now it’s possible to achieve unparalleled levels of breathability, while also preventing serious drops in thermal protection that can occur as your gear gets wet, particularly from sweat. This new level of breathability and enhanced thermal protection is only achievable with the GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PARALLON® liner system — a unique multi-barrier liner system that replaces the moisture barrier and thermal liner in convention gear.
