What is Gore-Tex?
The GORE-TEX® membrane combines durable waterproofness and optimized breathability, offering enduring waterproof protection and optimized climate comfort. This means that water stays on the outside while perspiration can easily escape from the inside. Thanks to their innovative construction they are an ideal solution for the widest range of outdoor activities and changing weather conditions.Aftercare for you Meindl Ovaro Lady GTX Hiking Boot
