This is the beginning of the end for Shakedry, with the impending forever chemicals ban there will be no more Shakedry in production. That's potentially a big step back for those in search of the best waterproof jackets as Shakedry had built a reputation as being the pinnacle of waterproof.
Without diving too deep into chemistry I quite honestly don’t understand, Shakedry falls under the the PFC (per and poly-fluorinated chemicals) and PFAS (per and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances) ban that will take effect in 2025 as it contains PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) chemical. Gore itself has already ceased production of the Shakedry material and released its first fluorocarbon-free cycling jacket, the GoreWear Spinshift GTX. So when the Shakedry jackets are gone, they are truly gone.
