What is Goretex Pro Shell?

What is the difference between Goretex and Goretex Pro?
Gore-Tex uses Polyurethane as the inner lining, but Gore-Tex Pro uses a Micro-Grid backer. In addition, Gore-Tex Pro only uses the hardest materials for its outer “face” layer. The result is a lighter, technical, more rugged and breathable fabric, which slides easily over clothing worn underneath.19 Feb 2021
