One of the great problems with motor cycling is the weather, and if you’re someone who needs to get about in foul weather then you should consider the advantages of
Gore Tex Motorcycle clothing.
Real Gore Tex is used in a variety of motorcycle clothing because its unique properties and versatility make it the ideal material to provide waterproofing in so many different ways. That’s why you’ll find it in
waterproof motorcycle jackets, trousers, gloves and boots.
There are lots of other materials used to provide waterproofing and breathability in motorcycle clothing, and many of them are quite good at what they do but over the years nothing has proved as effective as Gore Tex.
What makes
Gore-Tex motorcycle clothing different is the care and quality control that goes into every garment. A clothing manufacturer cannot simply buy a reel of Gore Tex and use it as they wish, they have to apply to Gore for a licence to use the product and supply Gore with pre-production samples to be tested in order to ensure that they are manufactured to a high standard. Once the OK is given Gore will randomly test samples of a product to ensure that the pre-production example they saw was not a one off.
Their dedicated laboratories worldwide use test rigs to ensure that their rigorous standards and specifications for durability, waterproofness, breathability and comfort are consistently met.
Obviously this dedication means that you the end user gets the best possible product, and why the guarantee that comes with Gore Tex motorcycle clothing is often 5 times greater than a regular item.
At Infinity Motorcycles we are proud to supply both Police and Ambulance riders with Gore Tex Motorcycle clothing, including jackets, trousers, gloves and boots to use year round, all day every day in the toughest of environments. They use it because it works.
At Infinity we stock all the major Gore Tex brands, including
Rukka,
Held,
Dainese,
Sidi,
Daytona Boots and
Alpinestars.
All these top brands use Gore Tex, but they often use slightly different type of Gore Tex depending on the application. Rukka for example use a ‘z-drop’ liner in their basic
Athos Jacket which will ensure you stay totally dry and because air is trapped either side of the liner this helps keep you warm. On the higher spec jackets such as the
Argonaut the Gore Tex used is a laminate type, the advantage of which is that the outer layer stays dry throughout the life of the jacket, and because it breaths more efficiently it means that the jacket is more practical throughout the year.
The same technologies are also used in
Gore Tex motorcycle trousers as well in order to ensure that protection and comfort is available for the whole body.
On some
Gore-Tex motorcycle gloves you will find ‘xtrafit ‘technology. A simple term that describes a complex manufacturing process which ensures the thinnest, most breathable waterproof gloves ever made. They’re the choice of top racers in inclement weather due to the remarkable level of feel and protection they offer.
For the rider who demands something else from their Gore Tex Motorcycle gloves there are thicker models that are designed to keep you warm as well as dry, it’s no co-incidence that top rated motorcycle clothing often uses Gore Tex in its construction.
We don’t just stock the good stuff for men either, at Infinity we are proud to be one of the biggest retailers of
ladies Gore Tex motorcycle clothing in the country as well.
Look carefully at
Gore Tex Motorcycle boots and you may well see the label ‘XCR’ which is the high performance version of this remarkable fabric for use in extra sweaty applications. As with all Gore Tex motorcycle clothing it’s designed to keep you dry and comfortable.
Gore Tex has achieved a Hoover like generic use in our language because it is so good at what it does, but don’t be fooled by imitations or false claims. There is only one real Gore Tex and Infinity’s trained staff will happily guide you through the ranges offered by various manufacturers to find the best Gore Tex Motorcycle clothing for your riding.
