Gore-Tex motorcycle gear is the apex of all-weather protection. While there are a plethora of competitors on the market, Gore-Tex is still the industry standard when it comes to the combination of 100% waterproof protection, and overall breathability. Tested to the most rigorous of standards, and with a lifetime guarantee, if you are looking for the best in the business, you have found it with a piece of Gore-Tex gear. With all of the functionality that comes with the premium GTX materials, so too does a higher price tag. WIth that being the case, it behooves riders to follow a few simple instructions to best maintain their gear. In this How to Care for Gore-Tex Gear video, Spurgeon showcases a list of things to do in order to keep your GTX gear performing at its best.
Thanks for the instructions.
Don't put the parts in the sun when drying, especially not leather.
Just put it in the shade.
Really was looking for canada west leather boot recommendations as I picked up a few more pairs of the same boots I wear everyday in the worry my cobbler might go under during the extended pandemic. I treat all my boots as I did my combies, I was just looking to see if there was another way to go with the new ones aside from mink oil and boot black. I'm considering a hiking boot coating of some 'ott but I can't say I'm not well hesitant to take any of my sisters boot recommendations. 😳
Thanks for another helpful video
Will this technique work on the Dainese super rider d-dry mesh/leather jacket?
I have no idea how to clean this thing and I can't seem to find instructions in the encyclopedia of manuals it comes with..
Question: my rukka jacket has a gore tex inner jacket and separate fabric outer jacket. Can I wash the inner gore tex jacket in the same way? And also use the second product as well?
Gotcha, appreciate it. The lifetime warranty advertised product needs continued water repellency. :). As long as they honor the warranty, I say save your money. The washing and other tips were great.
Rukka guarantee up to 6 years for goretex membrane
I heard you should never use regular detergent. You need a dedicated product like NW Tech wash.
Do you need to reapply a dwr coating to gloves or boots after washing them?
If you find water soaking in more easily after washing, then yes, you'll want to reapply a DWR like those from Nikwax. -DrewZilla
I'm terrified of the nice printed 'R' on the back of my Rukka coming off when cleaning it. It's happened before even though I followed the instructions, thankfully Rukka replaced it when it went back for a faulty zip. It's now due to be cleaned again..I'm nervous.
the R is always coming off
What about goretex leather gloves and normal leather gloves?
I just put some nikwax on my revitt wp leather gloves that have been getting a bit wet the last few times I've ridden in the rain. I've had the gloves for 6 years or so. First time trying repellent on them. Will report back with the results.
What is safe to use on leather Gore-Tex boots to keep them supple and in good condition?
I like Motul Perfect Leather Cleaner. -DrewZilla

How i dry my jacket. If i dont have a drying machine like yours?
You can hang it on a hanger to dry. -DrewZilla
Does that work with Dainese "D-Dry" jacket laminated liners? Thanks you!
Yes, you can use the same Tech Wash and NikWax DWR spray. -DrewZilla
Rukka is recommending Stormcare products...use only non-bio washing liquid for Goretex !!!
Hi!
What happens to GORE-TEX when you wash it with softener?
Using softener can damage the Gore material itself, causing it to lose its waterproof and breathable capabilities. But we are not the scientists unfortunately, so we just trust and recommend adhering to exactly what the manufacture (Gore in this case) recommends inside the garments. - Pat
A fabric softener chemically coats fibres of a textile and assists in raising the frayed fibres of the cloth stand up so it feels softer. The fraying of the fabric is due to the mechanical stress on the textile from the washing machine. The very same chemicals used to coat the fibres will clog the Gore-Tex pores and reduce it’s functionality. Hope that helps.
You should apply waterproofing on wet gear!!!
Good video and good explanation but why do you have to shout?
Spurg is hard of hearing... Too much Rock N' Roll.... Let this be a lesson to all you kids out there, Rock N' Roll will ruin your life.
So lifetime goretex warranty not honored if it leaks? I’m confused.
Spurgeon is referring to the outer textile taking on water more quickly over time. The Gore-Tex membrane behind the outer textile still stops water from getting to your body, but the DWR coating on the outer textile helps keep water from soaking into the outer fabric. -DrewZilla
Thanks for the response. I just ask because Spurg states that sometimes you can feel like you are getting wet, and with goretex, that should never be the case. I had a goretex Klim Jacket for 7 years, and when I started to feel wetness, Klim sent me the newer replacement model immediately. I can honestly say that for the price of goretex, basic cleaning is understandable, but buying DWR (over $21.00 at Walmart) to ensure it stays waterproof is something Ive never known anyone to do. Still appreciate the video though.
Our recommendation comes straight from Gore. If you've never had an issue, then that's great! -DrewZilla

RevZilla once the outer layer is soaking the water the jacket feels cold inside and is heavy like hell..i recommend rukka proshell, is laminated together goretex+fabric

Did Lemmy go to acting school, or is he just a natural?
_Au naturale_
can I not just throw gloves to washing machine like jacket and pants?
No, you want to clean gloves by hand, since machine washing can damage the leather and armor. -DrewZilla
meant textile gloves sorry, can textile grtx gloves be washed in washer?
