Moisture Barrier | W. L. Gore & Associates
GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® Endure Moisture Barrier is engineered for durable protection and breathability in demanding structural firefighting environments. Its construction combines Gore barrier technology with an aramid backer to provide reliable liquid penetration resistance while allowing heat and perspiration vapor to escape through the protective system.
CROSSTECH® Endure is designed to combine durable barrier performance with breathability and thermal stability throughout demanding structural firefighting use.
Provides protection against blood-borne and viral pathogens, body fluids, water, and common chemicals encountered in firefighting environments.
Low evaporative resistance allows heat and perspiration vapor to escape through the protective system, supporting body-temperature regulation.
Engineered to maintain liquid penetration resistance through repeated laundering and thermal exposure for dependable long-term barrier performance.
Designed for demanding thermal environments while maintaining the integrity expected of a structural firefighting moisture barrier.
