TRUSTED PARTNERS IN ALL-WEATHER COMFORT
Since 1994, Pomar has been proud to offer GORE-TEX® in our collection, becoming one of the first Finnish brands to bring this industry-leading waterproof technology to footwear. In 2012, we achieved the highest-ever quality audit score among GORE-TEX® licensees—in 2023, we continued that reputation with another excellent rating. Every Pomar shoe with GORE-TEX® is crafted at our own factory in Pärnu, Estonia, ensuring unmatched attention to detail and quality.
With GORE-TEX® technical linings, Pomar shoes deliver 100% waterproof protection without compromising breathability. This means your feet stay dry, as the shoes let moisture escape while blocking water from getting in. Whether it’s rain, sleet or snow, your feet stay comfortable and protected.
A waterproof, insulated and breathable lining
GORE-TEX® also written GTX, is a microporous membrane, that’s seamlessly laminated to the shoe lining, working like a shield. This membrane blocks outside water from getting in, while letting moisture and heat escape. So, your feet stay comfortably dry—protected from rain, sleet, and snow.
GORE-TEX® ePE
Introduced in 2022, GORE-TEX® (ePE) is a new GORE lining providing the same trusted weather protection with a lower environmental impact. GORE-TEX® ePE combines a high strength-to-weight ratio, resulting in an ultra-lightweight, thin, and durable composite. Paired with Polyurethane (PU), it forms a waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane, reducing carbon emissions as verified by Higg MSI measurements.
At Pomar, we continue to offer both the latest ePE lining and our classic GORE-TEX® options, each providing outstanding waterproof and breathable performance.
Key Features of GORE-TEX® ePE:
- 100% waterproof and breathable
- Lower carbon footprint
- Thinner and lighter than traditional GORE-TEX®
- PFAS-free*
* Some trace amounts might exist, but is made without intentionally added per- and polyfluorinated substances.
