Re: Gortex or not

Cant see propely. Can you get a nice close up of the fabric so we can see the texture? Also, if there is a loose edge somewhere, check to see if the fabric is composed of layers, or is one type of fabric with a coating.

Are the DPPVC uniforms not made of Goretex? Anyways if I recall right Goretex has like a squarey material, its easily recognisable

Re: Gortex or not

difficult to tell. i work in the outdoor store millets and gortex comes in a massive range. officially there are 4 different types varying in weights. it would be impossible to tell from the picture. if its truly gortex there should be a label telling you so. if not then you cant expect it to be gortex.

if it is gen issue gortex . it will feel like a tent nulon type material . and on the inside wone be dpm pattern will be a grey colour . and if there is no label check the ankle hems and waist band for abreviations dpm / gt , or for the word wets as most squadies call them that on their kit

Trousers look like it to me...

But not sure on jacket.

Any labels? Is it surplus? If it is check for names ect.

Both Gore-tex. Jacket looks like the old gore-tex. Trousers looks exact.
