Two Layer Construction
GORE-TEX Paclite Plus garments use a 2 layer unlined construction. The GORE-TEX membrane is laminated to an abrasion resitant outer face textile, assuring durable protection.
A new abrasion resistant treatment of the inner surface makes a seoparate lining unnecessary. This makes them thin, light and highly packable - while being all durably waterproof, windproof and extremely breathable.
Comfortable, Durable Inner Surface
The new abrasion resistant treatment of the inner surface ensures that garments are longer lasting, offering more reliable protection. This treatment also makes them easier to slip on and off, and more comfortable to wear when you’re active.
Gore-Tex Stretch Technology
Some GORE-TEX Paclite® Plus garments include Gore-Tex Stretch technology. Whether you're cycling up a steep mountain pass or running to work in the morning, you want a jacket that moves with you and doesn't restrict your movement.
Thanks to the Stretch materials integrated into key areas, GORE-TEX Paclite® Plus garments with Stretch technology are designed for ease of movement and an attractive fit.
