Gore-Tex, the Ultimate in On-Course Waterproof Protection



As any English golfer knows, the weather on the course can change in a heartbeat. The best way to keep your game steady is to ensure you’re prepared for whatever Mother Nature might throw your way. What you want is the perfect waterproof offering both maximum comfort and protection – what you need is anything made using Gore-Tex.

Gore-Tex technology is the ultimate in waterproof protection and is used by the biggest apparel brands in the world, including Galvin Green, adidas, ECCO, Under Armour and more!  Featuring a waterproof, breathable fabric membrane, Gore-Tex is able to repel water while also allowing water vapor to escape out.  Meaning you don’t need to worry about overheating or perspiration building up.

At its core the Gore-Tex membrane is an extremely thin layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene that features over 9 million pores per square inch. Beyond its waterproof and breathability properties, this membrane is also windproof. Seriously – it’s the whole package and really the only thing you will want to make sure you’re wearing this season and beyond!
