  GlenPile - GlenPile is a pile fabric made by Glenoit Mills, Inc., made from a special blend of technical fibers, including Micro-acrylic fibers, polyester and polypropylene. Each individual fiber insulates, breathes and wicks moisture away from the skin independently. The fabric has excellent insulation with a high warmth to weight ratio, and is soft, breathable, and drapes well. GlenPile fabric can be made in a variety of colors, patterns, textures and sculpting (high and low pile) It's easy to care for and maintains its appearance after washing.
  GORE DRYLOFT® - GORE DRYLOFT® Fabric is an extremely breathable, weather-resistant, windproof shell fabric, engineered for the protection of high-loft insulations. It keeps insulation dry from the inside so you stay warm. It uses a light, patented composite barrier, which allows perspiration vapor to pass through the loft and out through the fabric to keep the loft dry. This fabric is water resistant, but not waterproof. It is used in insulated sleeping bags and parkas.
  GORE WINDSTOPPER® - GORE WINDSTOPPER® Fabric is a durable windproof system that is very breathable and provides warmth with less bulk. It is the result of laminating their ultralight ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethlene) membrane to various high-performance fabrics. This provides a durable windproof fabric with very little or no loss of breathability. It is used as liners for sweaters, pants and casual wear, and windproof fleece for outerwear, gloves, hats and other accessories.
  GORE-TEX ePE membrane - W.L. Gore's new waterproof fabric that is geared towards sustainability. This new waterproof ePE membrane material offers the same lightweight and breathable protection as the GORE-TEX fabrics everyone is familiar with, but with a fraction of the carbon footprint. To solve the problems with perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) used in the manufacture of technical fabrics, it has been found that these eco-hazardous textiles are highly persistent, remaining in water systems for decades. While many brands have moved away from using PFCs altogether, Gore is not convinced by the performance of the alternatives available. Instead, Gore focused on producing fabrics containing PFCs that have no environmental concern. Gore’s new ePE membrane is made through a non-fluorinated process, using far less plastic material than previous Gore-tex fabrics, without any decrease in durability or performance. The main component used in this new technology is often used for things like plastic bags, wire insulation, and film. However, Gore has made it suitable for outdoorwear by adding a level of polyurethane and developing a way of expanding the materials to create microscopic holes for moisture vapour to pass through.
  GORE-TEX® - GORE-TEX® Fabric is the most durably waterproof, very breathable, windproof fabric available. It's uniquely patented structure is made up of two different substances. One is a ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethlene) membrane, which is hydrophobic or water hating. It contains 9 billion pores per square inch. Liquid water cannot penetrate these pores, but moisture from perspiration can easily escape. Integrated into the membrane is an oleophobic or oil hating substance, which prevents penetration of contaminants that might affect waterproofness or breathability.
  GORE-TEX® IMMERSION TECHNOLOGY® - GORE-TEX® IMMERSION TECHNOLOGY® Fabric is the result of a unique fabric laminate, special seam-sealing process, and a manufacturing technology first developed for U. S. Navy pilot survival suits. This fabric provides ultimate waterproofness with comfort. It is used in products like dry suits and fishing waders. However, it is not an insulationg fabric.
