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.

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?

TeX Frequently Asked Questions
TeX 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”.

What is the future of TeX?

TeX Frequently Asked Questions
Knuth 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).

Why is TeX not a WYSIWYG system?

TeX Frequently Asked Questions
WYSIWYG is a marketing term (“What you see is what you get”) for a particular style of text processor. WYSIWYG systems are characterised by two principal claims: that you type what you want to print, and that what you see on the screen as you type is a close approximation to how your text will finally be printed. There are two answers to this.

Is there a lot of gore?

Frequently Asked Questions
Here we kept to the movies. In the films, you never see a lot of gore, and energy-based weapons by their very nature aren't going to cause the kind of bleeding damage that projectile weapons will. As such, gore in SWQ is at a relative minimum, but slicing off limbs with a lightsaber, or a direct hit with a missile will have the expected results.
