Our advanced fabric technologies are designed to meet the requirements of professionals, their workplaces and unexpected changes on the job, especially where they are at risk of being exposed to adverse conditions or hazardous substances.

We stand by our promise to make sure professionals can focus on the job at hand, not on their gear. INDUSTRIES WE WORK WITH: WORKWEAR End users in many workwear applications require protection from hazards such as extreme weather, chemicals, flame exposure and other occupational hazards.

    German Special Forces rely on GORE-TEX Stretch Product Technology When the situation gets critical, the German Special Forces are ready. Their missions include rescuing hostages, apprehending war criminals, and countering terrorist threats. As part of the German Army, they play a crucial role in national risk and crisis management. They are also the first military unit to use the new generation of GORE-TEX Stretch rain suits for defense. Earlier this year, 3,000 suits were delivered to this elite unit. Produced by German clothing specialist and GORE Fabrics partner DNS Alpha, the suits are worn beneath their battle dress uniforms. “For the defense business, this is a new generation of rain suits featuring our proven protection from GORE-TEX Technology complemented by mobility and breathability for expanded use cases.” - Oliver Opitz Product Specialist Military Global, W.
