What is GORE-TEX?

GORE-TEX is a highly technical type of waterproof material that is a running theme featured in many gorpcore clothing items.

GORE-TEX is a synthetic waterproof fabric that protects against water and air. The material basically repels liquid which means that the clothing item will remain dry. It’s the gold standard for all things waterproof. Its highly durable, water and windproof nature make it perfectly suited for the outdoor adventurer.

This material is often found in hiking boots and trail shoes, however, it may also be featured in coats and jackets too.

Style with a Sustainable Touch

Step into a pair of Anacapa 2 Mid GORE-TEX, and you step onto a path of sustainability. Crafted with recycled yarn meshes and innovative sugar cane components, these boots aren't just a fashion choice; they're an eco-conscious stride. The marriage of a robust rubber toe cap and waterproof leather ensures your feet stay both dry and warm, embracing the elements with confidence.
