TOPIC SPOTLIGHT:
IS YOUR GORE-TEX GARMENT LEAKING? Even though your GORE-TEX garments are waterproof, there are several critical points through which water can potentially penetrate. These critical points include the zippers, pockets, and seams. Something else to be aware of is that water pressure against the exterior diminishes the breathability of the garment's fabric membrane. When that happens, your body sweat can condense on the interior-facing side of the membrane. The result is you feel wet—enough so that you think the gear has sprung a leak when, in fact, it hasn't. Get more intel on waterproof laminates and additional insights about how to determine whether your garment is really leaking. |
