WINDSTOPPER® by GORE-TEX LABS is a highly functional membrane material that offers complete wind protection without compromising breathability or comfort during movement. This advanced technology combines wind resistance with exceptional breathability, making it an ideal choice for high-intensity outdoor activities in changing weather conditions.

The WINDSTOPPER® membrane:

• reliably blocks wind, eliminating the wind chill effect and helping to maintain body temperature,

• at the same time, allows excess heat and moisture to escape quickly, reducing the risk of overheating during physical activity,

• ensures long-lasting thermal comfort without the need for heavy insulation layers,

• It’s a bit harder to hear through the membrane,

• and remains soft, flexible, and lightweight, allowing for excellent freedom of movement.

Thanks to its well-balanced ratio of protection and breathability, WINDSTOPPER® is perfect for performance apparel and accessories designed for running, cycling, skiing, or mountain expeditions – essentially anywhere wind is the enemy of comfort and performance.

This material, made from a combination of polyamide microfibres and elastic fibres (such as elastane), excels in its ability to stretch and recover to its original shape without deformation. As a result, products maintain their fit, grip, and functionality even after extended use.

Polyamide microfibres provide:

• High resistance to abrasion and wear,

• Lightweight feel, breathability, and soft touch,

• Effective moisture wicking away from the skin.

The elastic component ensures:

• Exceptional stretchability,

• Shape retention,

• And freedom of movement, even during sports activities.

Thanks to this smart blend, the material is ideal for hats, headbands, and similar accessories where comfort, adaptability to head shape, and a “second-skin” feel are key – without pressure or slipping. The result is a comfortable, functional, and technically advanced solution for everyday wear and high-performance activity alike.

Thermolite® is a technically advanced insulating and moisture-transporting material, distinguished by its hollow fibre construction. This structure traps more air, providing one of the highest levels of thermal insulation while remaining extremely lightweight.

Thanks to the special shape and surface of its fibres, Thermolite®:

• effectively wicks sweat away from the skin,

• reduces body heat loss caused by retained moisture,

• and helps maintain thermal comfort even during physical exertion.

Thermolite® is an ideal material for functional base or mid-layers in sportswear for cold conditions – ensuring warmth without unnecessary bulk.
