FAQ's Frequently Asked Questions - Motorcycle SuperstoreGore-Tex fabric is created when Gore laminates their patented Gore-Tex membrane to high-performance textiles, which are then used by garment manufacturers to make outerwear, accessories, and footwear.

These tiny holes are too small for water and wind to pass through from the outside, which is how Gore can guarantee you'll stay dry and warm in a garment made with Gore-Tex fabric.

Related QuestionsWhat recommendation does W.L. Gore make on how to best care for my Gore-Tex jacket?
Granger's Waterproofing FAQ’s & Tech Tips - Grange...First of all, we recommend following the manufacturer's instructions as the best way to care for the garment. Generally, washing the garment in the washing machine, using regular laundry detergent, and then drying it in the dryer, on low to medium heat for about hour, is the best way to care for your GORE-TEX® garment. The heat from the dryer actually helps to "revive" the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) that is coated to the outside shell of the garment.
Related QuestionsWill salt clog up the semi permeable micro porous GORE-TEX© membrane?
No, this is a myth! Salt molecules are far too large to fit into the tiny holes in the GORE-TEX© membrane. If you don't wash all the saltwater off your garment after a trip to the ocean the remaining salt on the face fabric will attract moisture (so rinse it off!), but GORE-TEX© will breathe when the face fabric is completely saturated (even underwater).

Related QuestionsWhat is TeX?
TeX Frequently Asked QuestionsTeX is a typesetting system written by Donald E. Knuth, who says in the Preface to his book on TeX (see books about TeX) that it is “intended for the creation of beautiful books — and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics”. Knuth is Emeritus Professor of the Art of Computer Programming at Stanford University in California, USA. Knuth developed the first version of TeX in 1978 to deal with revisions to his series “the Art of Computer Programming”.
Related QuestionsIn the snowy High Sierra's, did you wear gaiter's or gore-tex socks with your trail runner's?
PCT Questions and answersNo. That was something that I studied quite a bit before my hike, but I finally made no changes from my plain sock/shoe set-up. I also knew that I would pass by a couple of outfitter's while in the desert section so I'd have about a month to adjust for the Sierra's if I learned that I'd need them after talking to other hiker's along the way and also headed to the same high country as me. 2001 was also a very low snow year which also had something to do with my decision.
Related QuestionsTeX Frequently Asked QuestionsWhile Knuth has declared that TeX will never change in any substantial way, there remain things that one might wish had been done differently, or indeed implemented at all. The NTS project set out to produce an advanced replacement for TeX, to provide a basis for developing such modifications: this “New Typesetting System” would share Knuth’s aims, but would implement the work in a modern way taking account of the lessons learned with TeX.Related Questions
What is the future of TeX?
TeX Frequently Asked QuestionsKnuth has declared that he will do no further development of TeX; he will continue to fix any bugs that are reported to him (though bugs are rare). This decision was made soon after TeX version 3.0 was released; at each bug-fix release the version number acquires one more digit, so that it tends to the limit pi (at the time of writing, Knuth’s latest release is version 3.141592).
