That the clothes on membrane Gore-Tex and Windstopper served long and kept all characteristics during all service life, and it can be years, it is necessary and desirable to observe recommendations of the manufacturer, company Gore, on leaving and operation of products.
To membrane, it appears, washing even opposite is not counter-indicative absolutely not, it to erase it is necessary. For certain many heard a myth that ostensibly times of a membrane are hammered washing-up liquids (powders, etc.) and bring to nothing all it breathing properties. I hasten to dispell this myth, erase and dry, and even to iron it is possible, the truth too on technology.

Recommendations on washing, drying and a dry-cleaner of a product are always specified on labels of clothes, printed materials (brochures) accompanying clothes or official sources of the information - the Internet-site (www.gore-tex.ru; www.gore-tex.com; windstopper.com), at sellers of clothes from these materials in your region.
All fabrics Gore-Tex as you remember, are processed by water-repellent structures, and the top (external) layer of a fabric. It is necessary for elimination of effect обводнения the top layer of a fabric and sensation as if the clothes have got wet (though it only sensation, see properties of a membrane). For restoration of water-repellent properties of the top layer of clothes take advantage of means which restore such covering and do not contradict recommendations of the manufacturer. Deterioration and loss of water-repellent properties of a fabric can come because of following factors: mechanical damages and scratchs, long-term not left pollution, washing-up liquids improper for processing this fabric. Infringement of a water-repellent layer and loss of its properties more often that on a surface of clothes water ceases to roll down in drops is shown, and begins, as to be absorbed in it. First of all, the clothes should be washed, and, if the given effect was not eliminated to restore a water-repellent covering, using for this purpose special means and recommendations of company Gore.
Certainly nobody has insurances from damage of clothes and breaks of a membrane as a result of mechanical influences (breaks, punctures, deep scratchs, etc.). But also here the company-manufacturer has appeared at height, having organized release simple in use repair the complete set for a fabric - GORE-TEX Fabric Repair Kit. But also it yet all. In each country where official representation of company Gore, the service centers of service of the population rendering services of repair of the damaged membrane are opened also. They are in Russia to addresses: Moscow, the Valdai travel, 16, and Sent-Petersburg, B.Sampsonievsky street, 45. Such yet was not - in clothes as on the car it is possible "to approach" in service-center. Here it is SERVICE!
The clothes on membrane Gore-Tex are a transition to a new level of comfort and quality.
