The GORE-TEX® membrane is integrated into GORE-TEX® garments between the outer material and the lining. It allows perspiration to escape while being a perfect barrier to water and wind. GORE-TEX® garments are durably waterproof even in the wettest conditions and after extreme use. Cold winds cannot pass through and destroy the microclimate next to your skin, which ensures that you don’t get cold. Perspiration can evaporate easily (the human body loses 1/2 litre (18 oz.) of vapor per hour even when walking) so that even in cases of extreme physical exertion, humidity is not trapped inside the clothing system. Three good reasons why your body always stays dry and comfortable in GORE-TEX® garments.

GORE-TEX® Performance Shell
One garment, many activities.
Whether you’re fishing, hunting, hiking, camping or just walking, you can change the activity but you’ll never need to change your garment with GORE-TEX® Performance Shell.
WATERPROOF & BREATHABLE
The highest level of breathable comfort and durably waterproof protection on the market. Special GORE-SEAM® tape technology ensures all seams are 100% waterproof
MAXIMUM VERSATILITY
Designed for a wide range of outdoor activities.
A specific GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded to the outer material and protected on the inside by a separate lining
HANDLES ALL CONDITIONS
All Team Realtree waterproof garments are constructed to meet Gore’s Extreme Wet Weather Test. This aggressive rain test simulates extended vertical and horizontal wind-driven rain conditions. Team Realtree® garments deliver superior protection against extreme and extended wet weather conditions through the use of advanced garment design and construction techniques
GORE-TEX® Z-Liner
Experience true performance.
The Z-liner construction is used for GORE-TEX® Performance Shells. A specific GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded to a lightweight carrier fabric, and this Z-liner is freely suspended between the outer material and the lining of the jacket. As only the seams of the Z-liner need to be sealed, this construction gives clothingmanufacturers more freedom to design the garment, which makes it especially attractive for fashion applications.GORE-TEX® Performance Shells provide breathable comfort and durably waterproof and windproof protection.

WHAT IS THE WINDSTOPPER® MEMBRANE?
- The windproof, breathable heart of all WINDSTOPPER® garments
- Effectively protects you from windchill
- Effectively allows moisture vapor to evaporate
- Extremely light and thin
The WINDSTOPPER® membrane is an ultra thin protective layer which is laminated to a lightweight textile layer, making it totally windproof.
It is made of the versatile polymer PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) which is expanded to create a microporous structure. These micropores are 900 times larger than water vapor molecules, allowing perspiration to pass through unhindered. This means that the WINDSTOPPER® membrane adds total windproofness to any textile without perceivably restricting its initial breathability or weight.
WINDSTOPPER® TECHNICAL FLEECE
Total windproofness and maximum breathability.
WINDSTOPPER® Technical Fleece provides more warmth and comfort than non-windproof fleece with less bulk by combining total windproofness and maximum breathability. WINDSTOPPER® Technical Fleece is effective as a mid-layer or outer layer, keeping you warm and comfortable in cool and windy conditions.
WINDSTOPPER® SOFT SHELL
Total comfort and maximum water resistance.
WINDSTOPPER® SOFT SHELLS offer total windproofness with maximum breathability, combining the comfort of a soft mid-layer and the water resistance of a shell in one garment. WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shells keep you comfortable with the freedom of movement you need for enhanced performance in a wide range of activities and weather conditions.
WINDSTOPPER® ACTIVE SHELL
Minimum weight and maximum breathability.
WINDSTOPPER® Active Shells are the lightest, most packable garments offering total windproofness, maximum breathability and water resistance. WINDSTOPPER® Active Shells keep you comfortable for enhanced performance during highly aerobic activities.
