Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gore-Tex?

FAQ's Frequently Asked Questions - Motorcycle Superstore
Gore-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. The Gore-Tex membrane has 9 billion pores per square inch, with each pore 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet. 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.

How well do Drymax? Socks work with waterproof-breathable material (ie: Gore-Tex?) shoes or boots?

Strabell - Active Dry FAQ's
Waterproof/breathable materials have membranes with microscopic holes which are great at keeping water out, but they breathe and move moisture vapor out of the footwear at a much slower rate than nylon or nylon-mesh. This situation makes it very important to wear Drymax Socks because they actually move moisture away from the skin and truly keep your feet dry. Therefore, the Drymax Socks are the very best socks to wear with shoes or boots made with waterproof/breathable materials.

What options can I get for my GORE-TEX? dry suit?

GORE-TEX? hoods (either removable or sewn in), color matched sleeve and thigh pockets, relief zippers, GORE-TEX? or latex socks, and reflective tape are all options that can be added to a new or existing suit. Please check with your local dealer or give us a call to check on prices and availability. The only products that we sell directly are repair and/or replacement items. This would include gaskets, gasket replacement kits, GORE-TEX? field repair kits, 303 Protectant, and Aquaseal.

I recently acquired a property. When will I receive my first tax bill?

Land Tax Department - Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on the date that it was conveyed to you. The person in possession of the property at April 1 of that year is responsible for the taxes. Therefore, if it was conveyed to you on or before March 31, you will be receiving a tax bill for the coming financial year.

Will 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).

What is TeX?
