GORE-TEX is Merrell’s go-to premium waterproof material that provides superior protection in wet weather. GORE-TEX employs a three-pronged defence to protect you from threats to your comfort; waterproof, windproof and breathability.
The membrane, the key feature of all GORE-TEX products, is an extremely thin layer that is bonded to an outer textile and, in many instances, a lining.

The membrane is made up of over 1.4 billion pores per square centimeter, 20X smaller than a water droplet. Water from the outside doesn't penetrate, cold wind doesn't pass through, yet perspiration can escape; ensuring your footwear is waterproof and windproof, yet breathable.
It's important to properly care for your GORE-TEX footwear to ensure a longer product life and better performance. Care instructions on how to wash, dry and reapply DWR can be found Here.
