The History Of Gore Tex 

Gore-Tex was co-invented by Wilbert L. Gore and Gore's son, Robert W. Gore.[1] In 1969, Bob Gore stretched heated rods of polytetrafluoroethylene (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.[1] It was introduced to the public under the trademark Gore-Tex. Source Wikipedia

Flexothane, Sealtex Or Goretex Which Is The Best 

Felxothane

It always depends on the task at hand in the first instance. Our range of flexothane is breathable and completely waterproof but does come in a limited colour scheme. At this time the only colour is green so this would not be suitable for high risk areas.
