Waterproof: Liquid water doesn’t penetrate the durably waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable, allowing for extended operational effectiveness.

Windproof: The windproof GORE-TEX® membrane blocks the wind, keeping the wearer warmer and more protected from the sand, rain, snow, and ice. Reducing heat loss from wind chill can increase the ability to operate for longer periods of time in harsh conditions.

Dry & Comfortable: The breathability of the GORE-TEX® membrane allows moisture vapor from perspiration to escape, keeping the wearer drier and more comfortable.
