No. Because our ultralight GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® membrane technology is built right into the fabric, it retains its windproofness over use — even after 100 wash and dry cycles. Other windproof products, such as some microfibers, can lose windproofness after only one wash cycle. Make sure to always follow the specific care instructions and DON’T use softener or powder detergent – only liquid detergent.
