Men's Gore-Tex Jackets: Between Waterproofing and Breathability

Protecting yourself from the elements while staying fresh and airy is one of the most common challenges in outdoor sports: there's no point in being sheltered from the rain if your own sweat can't escape and you end up soaked... all alone! The Gore-Tex brand has brought a technology that has revolutionised textiles and simplified our outings. Indeed, a Men's Gore-Tex Jacket has pores 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, making it waterproof; yet, they are 700 times larger than a water vapour molecule, allowing the membrane to evacuate sweat. Thus, a Men's Gore-Tex Jacket is perfect for most adventures: with waterproofing, breathability, lightness, and windproof capabilities, it allows you to sweat and engage in sports activities without overheating while being protected. Also known as Hardshell, the Men's Gore-Tex Jacket does not provide any insulation against the cold. For that, the trick is to pair it with a down jacket or a fleece, to create the famous three-layer system. This way, you are both warm and protected while maintaining a good ability to wick away moisture.

Men's Gore-Tex Jackets: Protection for All Adventures

Wearing a Men's Gore-Tex Jacket during your journeys ensures that you won't fear any bad weather: the membrane withstands both wind and rain or snow. It can accompany you anywhere, whether for a highly challenging alpine run under metres of snow, a hike in Brittany under torrential rain, or a cycling outing in the windy Basque Country. A true mountaineering jacket, the Millet Trilogy V Icon Dual GTX Pro Jacket features a Gore-Tex Pro membrane and has all the characteristics to guide its wearer to the summit. In the same style, the third layer Nordwand Pro HS Hooded Jacket from Mammut is a classic. Designed by pros for pros, it is the result of many years of research and is intended for extreme expeditions in high mountains. However, a Men's Gore-Tex Jacket is not reserved for high mountains. For example, the Shift GTX Jacket from Lafuma is perfect for all active outdoor outings, such as a running session in the rain or cycling with the wind in your hair, as breathability and waterproofing are also its strong points. Meanwhile, the Vassi touring GTX Jacket from Haglöfs is perfectly suited for ski touring outings, thanks to its chest pockets and Gore-Tex Active fabric.
