GORE-TEX® fabric is still the only durably waterproof and breathable fabric meeting the specifications of all branches of the U.S. military. Competitors’ waterproof-breathable fabrics may cost less initially, but are prone to leakage (both when new and after wearing and cleaning), offer poor breathability, and cannot even be dry cleaned. Blauer outerwear with GORE-TEX® fabric will keep you dry and comfortable for many years, so that your purchase will be a tremendous value in the long run.
