Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable fabric membrane and registered trademark of W. L. Gore and Associates. Invented in 1969, Gore-Tex is able to repel liquid water while allowing water vapor to pass through, and is designed to be a lightweight, waterproof fabric for all-weather use. It is composed of stretched polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is more commonly known as the generic trademark Teflon.
Prior to Gore-Tex, stretched polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape was produced in 1966 by John W. Cropper of New Zealand. He had developed and constructed a machine for this use. However, Cropper chose to keep the process of creating expanded PTFE as a closely held trade secret and as such, it remained unpublished. As a public patent had not been filed, the new form of the material could not be legally recognised.
Gore-Tex was co-invented by Wilbert L. Gore and Gore's son, Robert W. Gore. In 1969, Bob Gore stretched heated rods of PTFE and created expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). His discovery of the right conditions for stretching PTFE was a happy accident, born partly of frustration. Instead of slowly stretching the heated material, he applied a sudden, accelerating yank. The solid PTFE unexpectedly stretched about 800%, forming a microporous structure that was about 70% air. It was introduced to the public under the trademark Gore-Tex. Bob Gore promptly applied for and obtained the following patents:

Para ello, hemos cogido 3 chaquetas, una con Polartec Neoshell, ortra con Gore-Tex Active y finalmente una con Pertex Shield+ y las hemos sometido a una lluvia artificial muy intensa así como a un impacto directo de un chorro a 465 l/min.

All fear and power
All ready for warning me
Askew with red jetted eye
All as a day in sand (and rain)
And when you're near all me now
And then think never before did it seem so far away
All hostile to me
The nerve is bared the sense is real
There's places and houses fired
Inspires all fire in the inside you
Times are fine find all nine
And nurses find me in again
Treating our matey kiteman
Boiling off his belly
Papering his length all off his swing
He mask his hand and he grin to stay here
Or even to play here
Rather than be kept in on his own
We only know what doesn't show
What do don't ask me why
Oh we're in again and we're all the same
Red as egg laid on the page
Don't mind the unbalanced mind
It's fine and mine and yours too
Share with me and me is clean and
Treating our matey kiteman
Boiling off his belly
Papering his length all off his swing
But I don't really think so
Maybe I don't think I care
So no one else can know
Ah well another day
