Gore-Tex Active - What it does and how

Extremely breathable. Super lightweight. Go fast, go high - and keep going.

If you're planning to skin up the backside of a mountain or hike three peaks before the sun sets you need a jacket that is extremely breathable and lightweight. GORE-TEX active garments are designed for fast-paced, high-aerobic, done-in-a-day activities even in bad weather.

They’re totally windproof, extremely breathable, can easily be packed away and come with the GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise. Plus they're super lightweight and soft, and have excellent next-to-skin comfort. So you can go fast, go high—and keep going.

Meeting the intense aerobic demands of the alpine athlete, these fabrics are the ideal solution for highly aerobic done-in-a-day activities, even in bad weather. Garments with Gore-Tex Active fabric are lightweight and soft, with excellent next-to-skin comfort, thanks to reliable moisture management. The fabric's construction keeps your body dry by reducing the accumulation of sweat so you stay cool during activity and warm during cool down. With Gore-Tex Active fabric, you can put the garment on, leave it on and focus on the experience rather than your clothing.
