Gore-Tex Pro Shell
In the autumn of 2007, Gore-Tex XCR (eXtended Comfort Range) was be replaced by Gore-Tex Pro Shell, as the latest version of the well known waterproof and breathable fabric, originally developed over 30 years ago by W.L. Gore & Associates. It retains the familiar '3-layer' construction (a microporus ePTFE membrane laminated between protective outer and lining fabrics), but the lining layer has been changed from the long-used knitted 'scrim' (with a more open, bulkier structure) to a new woven 'Micro Grid Backer' fabric (which is lighter, thinner, smoother, but more durable).
What are its benefits?
- It is lighter and less bulky than Gore-Tex XCR, reducing overall garment weight and bulk.
- The lining is more abrasion resistant and less likely to 'catch'.
- The lining is smoother and therefore glides over other clothing layers more easily.
- W L Gore also claim an increase in breathability over XCR.
Recco® System
This jacket also features a RECCO AVALANCHE RESCUE SYSTEM which is an avalanche rescue system utilized by more than 500 rescue organizations worldwide to assist in the efficient location of burials. RECCO technology enables rapid directional pinpointing of a victim’s precise location using harmonic radar. The two-part system consists of a RECCO® detector used by organized rescue groups, and RECCO® reflectors that are integrated into apparel, helmets, protection gear or boots. The reflector is permanently affixed, requires no training for use and needs no batteries to function.
