GORE-TEX® Brand

Durability is one of the strongest lever to cut impact and build trust. Today, the GORE-TEX® Brand shares its white paper "Durability and the Value of Making Things Last.” It gathers facts and current perspectives from researchers, designers, retailers, and industry leaders to explore why durability matters now, how it can be measured more meaningfully, and what it will take to make it desirable - culturally, commercially, and environmentally. 👉 Swipe through the whole document

At ISPO 2025, we brought together voices from across the outdoors industry to answer one question: what does durability actually mean? Together, we looked at how durability connects innovation, performance and sustainability – and why designing for longevity matters now more than ever. The takeaway was clear: lasting products mean lasting impact. Want strategies, insights and practical moves from some of the most important voices in the industry?

Performance with purpose. Every winter, snowboarder and GORE-TEX® Brand Ambassador Philipp Siefken brings the outdoor community together for his Charity Market — an idea that began as a simple conversation between friends and grew into a movement. This year the community raised €23,400, all proceeds will be donated to the German Kids Cancer Foundation and the Drug Emergency Service, a vital refuge currently facing funding cuts after 28 years. Supporting brands included long-time GORE-TEX® Brand partners such as Arc'teryx, Norrøna, Merrell, and Rab. A community that shows up — and makes a difference. “We’re so grateful for all the amazing products — many featuring GORE-TEX® Brand Technology and coming from brand partners.” – Phil Siefken A reminder that when passion meets purpose, impact follows. 💛 #GORETEX #OutdoorForGood #CommunityMatters

A laundrette might seem like an unusual choice of location to talk about innovation. But for our "Get Clean – Stay Dry" event with Rab, it was the perfect setting. We introduced our innovative ePE membrane: fully PFAS-free and lighter. Same trusted protection. Smaller footprint. Everyone there got hands-on with Rab's new HW25 collection – built on GORE-TEX® Pro ePE membrane and ready for the winter. So why the laundrette? Because one of the best things you can do for your GORE-TEX® Gear is surprisingly simple. Wash it. Regularly. The most sustainable jacket? The one you already own – looked after it properly. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

What if the best sustainability strategy isn't recycling but making things that last years rather than seasons? Brands face pressure to compete on price while meeting sustainability targets, yet research shows that wearing a garment for twice as long cuts its climate impact nearly in half. At GORE-TEX® Brand, we're reimagining the relationship between durability and sustainability. Our latest blog explores this approach – from forensically analysing used jackets with Swedish universities to the rigorous testing protocols behind our GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY Promise.

Where many outdoor brands cast wide, Portal® narrows in – and makes that their advantage. By focusing exclusively on running, cycling, and hiking, the brand designs garments that excel in each discipline and move seamlessly into daily life. That constraint creates possibility. It also demands something harder: year-round performance. "We live a life that goes from January until December," explains co-founder Patrick Stangbye. "We need to be able to go outside every day for our sport but also for general life." That year-round reality shapes their partnership with GORE-TEX® Brand. "Working with GORE-TEX® Brand, the standards are high," adds co-founder John Roberts. "A normal jacket isn't tested and validated to the extent that a GORE-TEX® Product needs to be." Those standards become rigour. ➡️ Watch John and Patrick discuss year-round performance and building gear that moves through life: https://gtx.is/1y9 #GORETEX #Portal #TechnicalDesign #OutdoorInnovation
