Expanded possibilities, reduced impact.

Reducing the use of PFCs to protect
the environments we love to explore.

As part of a much-needed focus on sustainability, GORE-TEX has been central to the development of expanded polyethylene (ePE) membrane technology.

Compared with the established polymer PTFE, ePE can be produced without harmful PFCs.

Though certain styles will continue to be made with ePTFE for now due to technical performance reasons, this latest leap in waterproof fabric technology is another significant step in reducing our overall impact.
