Questions & Tips
- Q: What does GTX or Gore-Tex mean?
Gore-Tex fabrics offer long-lasting, comfortable weather protection. The technology is based on an extremely thin membrane made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Its pores are too small for rain to penetrate, yet big enough for perspiration to pass right through. Gore-Tex products have a high waterproof rating (water column) and can withstand up to 28,000 mm of water pressure – more than monsoon rain. The membrane is bonded between an outer fabric and a high-performance lining. Depending on the construction, the result is either a 2-layer, 2.5-layer or 3-layer laminate.
- Q: How do I clean/ care for my Gore-Tex shoes?
WASH
Before washing your SALEWA shoes, be sure to follow the garment SALEWA's instructions to ensure the best result.
Clean the exterior of your SALEWAs shoes with a cloth or brush and lukewarm water. Do not use chlorine bleach as it may damage your footwear. Shake out sand, gravel and dirt from inside the footwear. To ensure a complete cleaning, remove and shake out the foot bed too, in order to remove the dirt settled under it.
DRY
After carefully cleaning your shoes, dry them naturally at moderate temperatures. Be careful not to put boots too close to a direct heat source or in too hot a room as it could damage them. Convection-style boot dryers work well too.
- Q: How do I clean and care for my Gore-Tex waterproof clothing?
Clothes:
WASH
Zip the front closure, pockets and pit zips completely. Wash your garment in a washing machine on a warm cycle (40º C) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Rinse twice and minimise spinning to reduce creasing. Do not use powder detergents or any products that contain fabric softeners, conditioners, stain removers or bleach, as they will affect garment performance. Do not wash with heavily soiled clothing.
DRY
Line dry your garment, or tumble dry it on a warm, gentle cycle. Once it is dry, tumble dry your garment for 20 minutes or iron the dry product on gentle setting (warm, no steam) by placing a towel or cloth between the garment and the iron. This will help reactivate DWR treatment on your garments outer fabric.
