Tempest Jacket
High-performance, lightweight rain shell equipped with pit zips that quickly vent moisture during high-output activity and easily accessible chest pockets. The jacket uses "GORE-TEX Fabrics," a waterproof, breathable material that meets GORE's strict standards.
"Next-generation GORE-TEX Fabrics," a waterproof and breathable material
The Tempest uses next-generation GORE-TEX Fabrics that does not contain PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances), which have been a concern for their environmental impact. While maintaining the same waterproof and durability performance as before, it has been reborn as an environmentally friendly material. GORE has conducted numerous lab tests from the prototype stage, and this next generation of GORE-TEX Fabrics also meets these strict standards.

The importance of care and maintenance
"Washing" is essential to maintaining performance over time
The Tempest Jacket's water repellent does not use PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are of concern due to their environmental impact. While the non-PFAS water repellent components have initial performance comparable to PFAS-containing ones, they are less durable due to their lower ability to repel oil. To prevent this, it's important to wash the garment frequently to remove contaminants like dirt. Additionally, applying heat through a dryer or iron helps restore the water repellent treatment to its original state, maintaining water repellency. With proper maintenance, it's possible to balance rainwear performance with reduced environmental impact.
