Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort

GORE-TEX® Guarantee for water-proof and breathability

Bestard is the Spanish brand which has been using Gore-Tex-lining in mountain boots the longest. Thanks to our close relationship with W.L. Gore during these last 20 years, we have managed to manufacture boots with a unique combination of being durably water-proof on one hand, and efficient in expelling the humidity created inside the boot on the other.

The secret behind this optimal result is not only the use of the Gore-Tex-lining itself, but in the careful selection of high-performance materials combined with careful and meticulous methods of manufacturing our boots, a system learnt through many years of experience and small day-to-day improvements.

The Gore-Tex-lining is a system by itself, whose principle component is the waterproof membrane made of stretched PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) whose breathable surface consists of millions of micro-pores.

Due to the possibilities arising from the use of different functional layers of the lining, there are different Gore-Tex linings with different performances available. All of them, however, are waterproof and breathable.

In this particular boot we use a version with the following characteristics:

Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort

All-year indoor comfort and outdoor protection

Extremely breathable to prevent feet from overheating

Optimum heat conductivity and excellent moisture management ensure all-day climate comfort inside the shoe

Durable waterproof protection stops moisture from seeping in
