You Don’t Need Gore-Tex: It’s Just Marketing

When shopping for outdoor gear, go to Military.eu: https://mltry.eu/UiSkS. They're one of the largest (and oldest) retailers in Europe for mainly tactical and survival gear, but also a lot of outdoor gear in general, with very quick delivery in Europe. A part of this video is sponsored by Military.eu. In this video, we test Gore-Tex hiking boots to understand if it's all just marketing or if they're really that good. Gore-Tex is marketed as being breathable and water-resistant. We put these claims to the test by comparing two very similar boots made by Garmont - one with the Gore-Tex membrane and the other without. We're doing some real-life tests as well as some lab tests to test this. ▼ BOOTS TESTED IN THIS VIDEO 1. Garmont T8 Extreme Evo GTX Tactical Boots ➜ https://mltry.eu/bwIUJ 2.
