At Moto Central, we’re always on the lookout for cutting-edge technology that enhances rider comfort and performance. One such innovation is GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ – a fabric that prioritises windproofing, breathability, and comfort. Unlike traditional GORE-TEX membranes designed for waterproofing, INFINIUM™ focuses on the demands of riders who value versatile, weather-resistant gear for a range of conditions.
Why Motorcycle Brands Choose GORE-TEX INFINIUM™
GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ has become a go-to choice for premium motorcycle brands looking to enhance their product offerings. Brands like Rukka, Held, and Rev'It! incorporate INFINIUM™ in their mid-layers, jackets, gloves, and other apparel. These brands are renowned for their commitment to innovation and rider-focused design, making INFINIUM™ a natural fit.
They choose INFINIUM™ because it delivers superior protection against wind and cold while remaining lightweight and flexible. Riders benefit from reduced bulk and improved comfort, especially during long journeys or high-performance riding.
Benefits of GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ in Motorcycle Gear
- Windproof Technology: The WINDSTOPPER® membrane within INFINIUM™ ensures that no chilly air penetrates your gear, keeping you warm and comfortable.
- Breathability: INFINIUM™ allows moisture to escape, preventing the build-up of sweat during intense rides or varying weather conditions.
- Lightweight and Flexible: The fabric’s low weight and flexibility make it ideal for mid-layers and gloves, offering comfort without restricting movement.
- Versatility: It provides excellent weather resistance, making it suitable for cool, dry conditions or light rain and snow.
Potential Drawbacks of GORE-TEX INFINIUM™
While GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ offers impressive windproofing and breathability, it is not fully waterproof. Riders who frequently encounter heavy rain or wet conditions may need to layer INFINIUM™ with waterproof outerwear for complete protection. Additionally, as a premium product, gear featuring INFINIUM™ can be more expensive, though the investment is justified by its performance and durability.

At Moto Central, we stock a variety of motorcycle gear that incorporates GORE-TEX INFINIUM™. Some standout examples include:
