  • Have you ever wondered what the difference is between original GORE-TEX and GORE-TEX INFINIUM™️ products? This short video tells you that there are now two logos for the GORE-TEX brand. A black diamond and a white diamond logo. You probably know the black one, the white one stands for GORE-TEX INFINIUM™️ products. Now you get the answer to your question whether GORE-TEX INFINIUM™️ are waterproof or not. And no, they are not waterproof, but they have many other advantages. But now just take a look.

    adding “infinium” to the name makes it sound superior to regular Gore-Tex, when in reality it’s not…🤦‍♂️

    For a technical company like Gore, this is a very untechnical and low quality video.

    What’s the waterproof rating for Gore Tex Infinium? I find it strange that it’s not provided while many other brands are.

    Specs. That's why everyone looks for eVent first. eVent posts waterproof AND breathability specs. And if if it weren't for eVents unfortunate choice of name that makes it impossible to search (eVent returns Event = millions of unrelated products) GoreTex would be out of business.

    Kudos to Gore-Tex on yet another very slick video! However, it completely omits that both the vast majority of Gore-Tex waterproof-breathable membranes and the Infinium are made from PFC-based PTFE. With a Higg Index value of 383, PTFE has among the highest environmental impacts of any textile raw materials. As outdoor gear buyers are increasingly concerned about sustainability and the chemistry used to make their clothes, it would be great if Gore-Tex could make a video showing how it treats the waste water from its PTFE polymerization process, and whether that water is 100% PFC-free when it is released back into the environment. Given that Gore has been making PTFE for nearly half a century and is one of the biggest producers of PTFE on the planet, this would be helpful information to know.

    Why not just call it gore-tex wind protection, or gore-tex dry weather? Simpler. Clearer. What is Infinium even supposed to mean?...

  • @mdsadek-ns2rs

    Gore tex is a verry smart product,,,

  • @leaaae4638

    Damn I really want to buy a good looking snowboard jacket and pant from Dimito. Their jacket are Gore Tex Infinium. They look good tho :(

    Well explained! Thanks

  • @GoodDaySir

    This is really poor branding, people have to search for it (or they wouldn't be here) and Infinium makes it sound like some superior version but it's actually a different category.

    ok but what is the difference? are they both not breathable?

  • @jayfritz1638

    So, basically cheap Gore-tex that isn't waterproof.
