We treat many GORE-TEX products with an ultra-thin durable water repellent (DWR), which reduces the surface tension of the fabric, so that water simply rolls off. It also helps maintain warmth, prevents the garment from getting clammy and increases comfort significantly. Curious what else DWR can do? 👉 Find out here https://gtx.is/213c59 #GORETEX #DWR #Garment

Collaborating for a successful partnership Rab and the GORE-TEX Brand came together for a special retail training event in the Scottish Highlands in March. We are working together to train and educate key retail partners on product and technology, exploring joint responsible performance progress and experiencing the products by putting them to the test. “Bringing together an international mix of retail partners, both The GORE-TEX Brand and Rab we descended upon a snow-covered Scotland to put Rab’s GORE-TEX Pro Products to the ultimate test. With no shortage of snow, wind and rain to define all weather protection, the teams immersed themselves in learning about navigational skills, Scottish bothy culture, and durably waterproof, windproof, breathable GORE-TEX Product Technologies.” Watch the video here to find out more! #GORETEX #Rab #Collaboration #Highlands
