Other components, such as fasteners, zippers, and leather outer shells are often added to boots, garments, and gloves.

    Repair Information

    GORE-TEX Technical Garments and GORE-TEX Heat & Flame garments can be repaired to preserve the waterproof integrity of your garment.

    For repair, please contact your garment supplier.

    Restoring Water Repellency

    To prevent liquid from saturating your garment’s outer fabric (called “wet out”), all GORE-TEX garments and selected GORE® WINDSTOPPER® products are treated with an ultra-thin water-repellent polymer that is applied to the fabric. Water repellency causes water to bead up and roll off the outer layer of fabric, instead of being absorbed.
