Tuesday, October 4th, 2016

The WL Gore flexible membrane material formerly known in development as ‘Topo’ has officially been named GORE-TEX Fabric with Stretch Technology.

In addition to jackets for the American tactical market by Beyond and Outdoor Research, WL Gore has also launched the material in Asia for consumer products and Europe for the LE market. GORE-TEX Fabric with Stretch Technology is 25% more breathable than the membrane used in USSOCOM’s PCU Level 6 and reduces the accumulation of sweat thanks to the garment’s stretchable form fitting construction.
