GTX PRO
GORE-TEX® PRO is the only membrane that's durably waterproof
enough to take the abuse that our sport throws at it. The
sophisticated membrane offers a superior level of breathability.
GORE-TEX® PRO is entirely windproof, protecting for longer against
an icy breeze. Tested and Proven during 25 years of offshore and
ocean racing GORE-TEX® PRO remains the industry benchmark

4DL
4DL™ is a new four-layer durable laminated reinforcement.
Lamination means no water pocket is created behind the patch,
taking longer to dry. No sewing and seam taping a patch
significantly reduce seam failure in a high-stress zone.Thanks to
this technology, there's zero water absorption - totally
impenetrable to water

TW240
TW240 is our toughest laminate with GORE-TEX Pro fabric at
240g/m2. It’s used on our Ocean range of products. When sailing
in the most brutal conditions – we’re talking Southern Ocean here
– it’s critical to use a fabric that is heavy enough to maintain
a barrier of insulating air inside the garment, and durable enough
to resist tears and abrasion from outside. Nothing less than TW240
will cope
