What is Gore-Tex® PacLite®?
Gore-Tex® PacLite® fabric is an advanced fabric technology from W.L. Gore. It is the only fabric available that combines ultra light weight and packablity with extremely high waterproofness, breathability and non-leak durability.
 All Gore-Tex® fabrics use the extremely durable ePTFE membrane. The combination of technologies and materials used means that Gore-Tex® fabrics are more breathable and last longer than competitor’s fabrics.
Why is Gore-Tex® PacLite® better?
Compared to other fabrics, Gore-Tex® lasts much longer in wet-flex tests. Other fabrics start to leak quickly in areas of constant movement. Gore-Tex® lasts much longer.Gore-Tex® is also very chemically stable. Where other fabrics leak at a hint of insect repellent, Gore-Tex® stays waterproof.
As well as having great breathability and durable waterproof qualities, PacLite ® is the most compact of Gore-Tex® fabrics. PacLite® fabric makes it possible to have a jacket that fits in a Jersey pocket, yet keeps the rain out hour after hour, year after year.
Together with WL Gore, Berghaus have developed Helium PacLite® fabric. Helium fabric is exceptionally comfortable to wear, thanks to its soft, quiet handle and light weight.
Gore-Tex ® fabrics are machine washable. So you can just put them in the wash when they get dirty. Competitor’s fabrics often need to be hand washed. |
