For highly aerobic activities such as running, biking and training there are polyester fabrics with knit surfaces (jacket weight < 280 grams) and for fast alpine ascent there are woven nylon shells (jacket weight < 330 grams). As with all garments engineered with durably waterproof and highly breathable GORE-TEX laminates, only when the finished jackets have passed stringent internal tests and extensive field tests will Gore back them with its “GORE-TEX GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY” quality promise.
“With our GORE-TEX Active Shell laminate technology we have succeeded in bridging the gap between extreme breathability, lighter weight and optimum weatherproof protection. This is the first, totally waterproof garment that really does feel comfortable next to your skin during highly aerobic uphill activities,” says Martin Lankes, product manager at Gore and passionate alpine athlete.
