Can GORE-TEX be applied to tactical boots?

Technology Introduction

GORE-TEX fabric is a light, thin, strong, and durable film invented and produced exclusively by W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. (Gore), which is waterproof, breathable, and windproof, and breaks through the shortcomings of general waterproof fabrics that can't be breathable, so it is known as “the cloth of the century! “GORE-TEX

GORE-TEX fabrics are not only widely used in aerospace, military, and medical applications but are also adopted by the world's top brands to make a variety of casual clothing series. Therefore, they are listed as one of the world's best one hundred U.S. products by U.S. “Fortune” magazine and are highly respected.

History

In the mid-1970s, Gore innovatively bonded GORE-TEX(R) films with many traditional textile fabrics to produce unique waterproof, windproof, and breathable GORE-TEX (R) fabrics. The birth of this fabric revolutionized human outdoor sports, enabling people to experience the best all-weather protection for the first time.

Since then, GORE-TEX(R) fabric has been widely used in producing functional, protective, and fashionable apparel and footwear products, and has become known worldwide as a leader in outdoor sports products. Today, Gore fabrics are used not only in outdoor sports such as mountaineering, hiking, and skiing, as well as in firefighting and military equipment but also in a wide range of urban leisure apparel.

GORE-TEX Four Functions

Surface water repellency /

Water splashed on it will become water droplets rolling down, water repellency can only be splash-proof, because of the addition of perfluoroacrylate chemicals on the fabric, which has a very low surface energy, in layman's terms, it is a strengthened version of the non-stick coating so that water droplets can not wet the fabric and then rolled down, to achieve the water repellency function, which allows the clothes to stay dry.

Water Repellency (Black GORE-TEX only)/

Water can not penetrate the fabric, and can withstand a certain amount of water pressure impact, in order to truly resist outdoor rain and snow, the waterproof function relies on the middle layer of fabric, accurately not fabric but membrane, his middle layer of waterproof membrane is a kind of material known as “expanded polytetrafluoroethylene”, GORE-TEX film has an average of 90 billion particles per square inch, which is 20,000 million smaller than the water droplets. GORE-TEX membrane has an average of 90 billion holes per square inch that are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, making it impossible for rainwater to penetrate.

Breathable /‍

The human body is constantly sweating. If sweat accumulates inside the clothes and condenses into a sweat, the moist sweat causes the body to lose its temperature, so we feel cold, so we need to wear breathable clothes that allow sweat to evaporate easily and avoid moisture accumulation. The small holes in each GORE-TEX membrane are 700 times larger than water vapor molecules, so the body's perspiration can easily evaporate through the membrane, keeping the body comfortable and dry all the time.

Windproof /

Windy weather can cause our body temperature to drop, so we need windproof clothing to maintain our body temperature. The tiny holes on the surface of the GORE-TEX film form an excellent windproof effect, so it can block the cold wind from penetrating and maintain a proper body temperature.
