It’s popular within expensive “brands” because it adds at least some functionality to them
Why quotations on brands
@@codysimon3548 “brands”
no one buying them really uses it for that functionality though
@@cvspvr YESSS I DO I WORK OUTDOORS & need a good Goretex jacket for the rain , it’s keeps me dry All day even if if water drops zero , Firee 🔥
@@cvspvr are you dumb?
"Space shuttle astronauts wore gore-tex in 1982"
*Literally shows Apollo 11 and Gemini pictures from 20 years earlier*
Seller: Wanna buy this jacket?
Me: No thanks.
Seller: It's Gore-Tex.
Me: I'll take your entire stock.
I remember my first gore tex jacket was a Chicago bulls jacket from 1995 that I bought in footlocker it was dope all black with the bulls sign on the chest cost me about 100£ back then!
in todays money it would be 193 pounds accounting inflation
Gore-tex is great.
Bought shoes with gore-tex a few years ago and it started leaking after a year of three.
Warranty was already over, so contacted gore-tex, and they replaced the shoes with no problem. They actually upgraded them. Great service!
Hypebeasts literally ruin everything
I agree once they see a popular person wear it, they will take the whole stock and resell it for more the retail
if that aint fax
@@ramseybones2635 FAX? MAchine?
how exactly is this ruined lol, id like to see a solid answer.
@@RuskiVodkaaaa Raises the cost by 100 fold for one thing. That a good enough answer?
The North Face no more design with gore-tex.. they made FutureLight
Straight retards
what's that
@@juvin2506 it’s The North Face’s own air permeable waterproof membrane
@@M.Wiberg wow thanks bro
Us Snowboarders are like, Well no shit you;re all late to the party
Hill walkers too
@@JoeZUGOOLA Yeah I mean anyone that plays in the elements, and not just some swaggy hype beast kid
@@eagle___empire3175 pretty much all things nike/supreme made are just 2L gore tex anyway.
Cue a skier to be like I bought the beer for that party!
lol so true
Every snowboarder and skier on the west cost WORSHIPS Gore-Tex.
Lol fr
Been wearing goretex since 2001 and still do, my fave pairs of Adidas nowadays are all goretex.
@L New have one old pair that's like 4 years old i use for work still holding on strong, the rest are newer pairs of terrex.
I met a guy in ATL who owned textile factories they collaborated with Cadillac to develop some of the first waterproof synthetics fabrics for consumer use, he said originally the tight weave fabric was a necessity replacement for leather goods in the 70’s but eventually the tech would be used for almost everything they needed to waterproof
Absolutely mad, been wearing goretex stuff for 20+ years for trecking and camping. Now we put a Nike badge on and charge 3x as much.
don't forget that goretex has always been quite pricey.
@@grapefru it's never been pocket money prices, but it was a decent coat you used for a purpose not for flexing. These are binbags compared to a full thermal ski jacket at a 3rd the price
@@ajwuk46 the thing least understood about all of this is that the brands themselves (supreme, etc) don't sell their gore-tex products at highly marked up prices, it is the resell market and scarcity that drives the cost. fashion is weird.
Not really, you still have plenty of options, i myself have even got a nike gore tex jacket for 100 pounds, so not really 3x times the price
50/50 document/commercial
almost every hypebeast videos be like
I have a Volcom gore-tex snow pants and Quicksilver gore-tex jacket. They're great. Had them for 3 years and they're still holding up
I'm from Greece. The first time I heard about Gore-Text it was in the army (which here is mandatory to go, at the age of 18) in 1999 when I was in the Special Forces and we had some pants and pull-over hooded jackets to go with it (super bitchin! 😋) by Gore-Tex. I'm surprised to see they went so popular! Kudos to them.
I once wore goretex af1s snow boarding they worked better than any snow boot I've ever worn
*REST IN PEACE BOB GORE*
Been living in South East Alaska for 5 years now and I can definitely say that having a goretex jacket/pants/shoes helps out a lot when hiking in the rain
But you do get wet 🌩
Try Columbia Outdry rain jacket no more need to reapply waterproof spray 👍
They gotta partner with Canada goose bro that would legit be the best jacket for cold weather
Goretex and George Costanza. Match made in heaven
Interesting the story Gore-tex! I live in a country where it rains a lot, so happy to see these cool collabs happening with high tech materials.
Gore-tex is made from the highly toxic, extremely persistent group of chemicals called perfluorochemicals (PFCs). www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jan/25/toxic-chemicals-found-in-most-outdoor-gear
@@Abuzwebstar i dont care
@@howdah7223 lmaooo
From a Columbia customer I haven't seen them used Gore-Tex in a long time since they started building their own in house water proof call Omni-Tech
$$$
It’s that simple. You can charge like 30% more with the label. Now every outdoor brand has pretty much come up with their own version of it that they don’t have to pay extra for, so it’s pretty much just a flex now (hence brands like Supreme and Stussy using it).
No shit sherlock thats how capitalism works
You can find the tests where gore-tez still is more superior than other alternatives brands try to make. Don't get me wrong, goretex bites too much in pricing but in terms of water resistance. It is still at the top
I've looked at vid where guy compared motorcycle jackets, i believe
@@dmytrosurname1609 nah man goretex hasn't been top of that chain for awhile, speaking as a backpacker and a hypebeast. Stuff made from TNF and Patagonia is much more breathable and comfortable while providing the same level of water resistance. Shit, even columbia has something on par with goretex. Its entirely about the flex, whether its Supreme or arc'teryx
@@ImDyluhn what tnf stuff is better than goretex? Is their new futurelight technology really on par?
@@Hawaiipaul no it isn’t not at all. TNF even to this day refuse to publicise the futurelight membranes water resistance. Gore-tex is the absolute top when it comes to reliable bad weather protection. It is however true that futureligt and other new membranes are more breathable.
gtx is certainly still used in a ton of scenarios, but I can't help but find this funny these days as a lot of skiers are ditching goretex jackets for more breathable materials, and long distance trekkers, probably some of the most ingenuitive athletes, have found that the weight 3L waterproofing like goretex isn't worth carrying around. It's promise of keeping you dry is a bit funny too... No such thing as water proof. With goretex you still get wet if you are out long enough, you just stay warmer.
Pretty much these hype companies using it soo u can rock ur shit with out worries of ruining your gear.. rain sleet snow.. feel me bruv
Gore Tex will still be around with good companies when all these shitty "hype" companies arn't hype any more (in 6 months)
Shut up you fucking degenerate
@Beau Green call me bruv in real life . See if I don’t go upside yo head, feel me bruv ?
We got you bruv
@@bobayagga2233 got it bruv
Fun fact: They also use goretex as an implant when undergoing a nose job
Hypebeast literally buy these to take a a pic and boast about it and actually never using them for what they're meant for. Like outdoor activities.
Gore-Tex transcends hype. It always has and always will be the waterproof gold standard.
My Primitive Gore-Tex jacket come in clutch when I drive my motorcycle in the rain. And the Nike Gore-Tex AF1.
love the goretex cycling jerseys
Water finds its way into everything, all it takes is a step in a big puddle or rain... and the water to go inside your shoe and it wont dry for days. Most long distance hikers and adventurers wear more open breathing style shoes now.
I find it amusing to see all the runners depicted stomping through ankle-deep water in low-top running shoes. Yes, the fabric is waterproof, but what good is it if you run through water that's above the top of the shoe?
Nice video guys, keep going such format!
Why hypebeast gotta take simple things we like and ruin them
Syed Hoque how is it ruined tho ?
Goretex works well, and if you want an assurance of quality, that label means a lot. However, if you want really cutting edge high tech fabrics, that are at another level, then check out Vollenbak. If anyone here is familiar with Graphene, then you'll flip when you see the jacket made with it. They also have many superfabrics featured in their designs. You will not disappointed.
Gore-tex has ben around for decades. Was even used during the Vietnam war and space suits from the 1980's.
Goretex for life
What I wanna know is why it took so long to catch on. I’ve been wearing it for a decade now lol
Been in use with the Army since the 1990‘s
In Indonesia Swallow and Skyway its super famous footwear brand ever. All hype brand needed collab with, to reach indonesian market.
04:01 THISISNEVERTHAT x GORE-TEX ♥
0:55 song is parris dj 2 vultures
Honestly guys this was really good content! I really enjoyed he edits and and information about the history of Gore-tex Keep it up!
Hypebeast: So which Gore-Tex jackets you prefer to wear?
Me: Yes.
This doesn’t store well in a warm environment. I live in a tropical country and I bought a jacket from North Face to use during the rainy season then I kept it in my cabinet for the summer. When I was about to wear it again for the rain I found the Gore Tex layer peeling off. I never bought anything with that technology ever again. Too expensive just to be used for one season.
Is it? I live in tropical monsoon climate. Humidity is bonkers here. Temperate zone. Would it sux to have it here too?
FAMOSA SEA I would think it should be stored in a cool place. Even the shop attendant told me that the heat might affect the item.
@@KarenLopez-vk3ny ok. Thanks. It looks like it's a no go for me then.
Gore Tex garments have to be worn to keep the fabric softeners within the garment intact. Technical gear especially has to be cared for.
Karen Lopez its just the hype if you think carefully you will see that there is no real need for this « fake new technology » its not even durable.
Thank you so much for sharing this video very informative.keep it up.
this vid does not even mention there are many types of waterproof membrane configurations: 2 L, 2.5L; 3L.
these membranes when applied in a traditional way (sandwiched between outer fabric and inner fabric) will only work when the DWR (durable water repellent) is still attaching to the outer fabric. If not, the whole outer apparel will be soggy and renders the waterproof membrane (goretex, event, neoshell, outdry, etc).
to make these membranes work requires certain conditions; for example: the temperature is relatively much lower than body temperature. Thus, if you wear these in the warm rain, then, you will get wet from your own sweat. .
Even my mom wears goretex
Your mom rocks.
Is she home?
Inderruheliegtdiekraft now she’s officially a hype beast
GORE-TEX Brand lmao
We want to know if shes home...
i use gore tex for treking, backpacking and hypebeasts using them for.... something.. i dunno
Great Content. Appreciated.
There’s probably has to at least 1 garment with goretex inside most northern us homes
because they can make it more expensive, just like beats by dre arent any better than similar priced headphones but people buy it because of the brand
I love my Prada gote Tex jacket
gore tex been hype for outdoorsmen for years
Love gore tex, got some af1s
Dude you forgot the big market of motorcycle jackets, pants, gloves and boots lined with gore tex
i got a stone island hoodie and i didnt know it was gore tex
Just got the gore Tex retro 1’s
Lovely video, shout out to the goretex fam in LA
I love goretex. Don't know about those other cheap fashion brands tho 🤔
Columbia was actually the first outdoor gear company to test the gore tex tech in their products. Gore tex is alright, but the outer layer above the gore Tex always wets out and fails. Now it’s all about the shake dry gore Tex, but ruggedized and they call it OutDry. Columbia of course were the ones to make the shake dry tech practical for the outdoors market.
Gore controls the quality of their DWR. Probably still rocking cw8 and throwing a middle finger to the environment. That is why their shit seems magical.
Your portrayal of OutDry at 2:41 is misleading
I like GORE-TEX but I don't buy the boots anymore because I brought two pair and the soles came off both pairs but I still buy the clothes
Gore-Tex was made in flagstaff
Legend has it gore tex also repels coronavirus
I have an Air Force Gore-Tex
0:03 Costanza.
Sick production
So gore-tex is PFOA? My armt issued jacked just lost alot of it appeal.
I know goretex from George in Seinfeld 😁
It's just nice to have gore tex mittens for snowboarding
Not really, leather gloves are actually better due to durability. The top backcountry skiers and snowboarders all use gloves from Hestra. Ski patrollers use gloves from Kinco or Hestra depending on their budgets.
@@Charles-wz9sd gore tex is still good tho
@@yungboosterse4t66 gore Tex is still good but leather is more durable
Jacket at 0:09?
same question
Learn something knew everyday
PTFE isn't that healthy. Plus there are more breathable materials with just as much waterproofing. Gore is just the most recognised brand.
Paramo fabrics are so much more environmentally friendly and feel better than the hard shell of Gore. Polar NeoShell is a lot less sweaty.
Don't get me wrong, my goretex li e berghaus boots have been so impressive but there are options that have advantages.
arcteryx made it big
I wonder if Whim Hoff has seen this.
My dentist told me that glide floss was made with goretex haha I was surprised
3:21 name of shoes/boots ?
If you truely want a great garment buy an Arc’teryx jacket. Its the best brand for gore garments
Worst thing possible is for these to get hyped beyond the prices normal people who use them can afford it. It's ridiculous.
rebbok boots had this for the longest
So it's a rain coat? Under Armour uses Gore TEX too
That jacket it's so New Light.
columbia has the same tech dont they?
I wonder how much the mc from nonphoxion had to do with gore tex blowing up?
Goretex was extremely desirable for decades before hypebeasts got to it and anyone buying goretex items for fashion reasons doesn't know shit about the material.
GORETEX is a purely functional material that adds no aesthetic value and is VERY expensive because for the goretex logo to be on an item the brand has to license the fabric and adhere to certain requirements set by WL Gore to ensure the item meets their standards and won't have their reputation tarnished by shoddy craftsmanship of people working with their material.
This was an advert, not the breakdown I expected... With very nice production tho
How did I know it was gore tex before I clicked
Gore-Tex also sounds cool for normies who know nothing about it
What's the jacket in the thumbnail?
because Gore Tex sounds cool. Many brand names sound cool. Palace brand sounds cool, “Supreme” sounds cool, thats why people buy them. Nobody give a damn about what gore tex is, its just kinda fabric that feels little bit different.
If you think you're into clothes but don't know how important goretex is.. maybe it's not for you
I took a shot every time GORE-TEX was said. I'm so drunk right now.
i cant believe this
what about ACRNM tho?
Anybody knows where I can find the jacket/parka at 1:56
Already tried on Woolrich site
Better question why the gore in gore tex?
I LOVE THEIR COLLAB WITH SUPREME! one of the best fabrics i've ever heard in reviews.
I love photography, but I want to get into design like this. Where/How can I start?
What do you mean with design like this?
Where's the footage of the violet hair girl from?
