我刚才Google了一下Gore-Tex衣服是否需要熨烫，在REI网站上看到这篇文章（西太后你是不是也看的是这篇文章？）

Water-Repellent Coatings

To maximize water-resistance and breathability, Gore-Tex outerwear comes with a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment on its outer surface. This DWR causes water to bead up and roll off the garment, which keeps the fabric surface clear so that sweat and body heat can pass through from the inside. DWR treatments also keep the fabric surface drier, which cuts down on evaporative heat loss and keeps your outerwear light and comfortable.

Over time, with regular laundering and exposure to the elements, DWR treatments can wear off. When this occurs, water may no longer bead on the surface of the outerwear fabric, and the fabric may absorb some water (NOTE: the Gore-Tex barrier beneath the outer fabric will still stop this moisture from getting to your skin). The best way to renew your DWR is to launder your Gore-Tex outerwear according to the care instructions and iron it using a warm steam setting. This will restore the water beading on the outer surface of the fabric as long as the original water-repellent treatment is present.

Unfortunately, there is no permanent water-repellent treatment available. Eventually, after extended wear and/or many washings, the original repellent finish will be depleted and you'll need to use a spray-on or wash-in water-repellency treatment to treat the outer surface of the fabric. You may repeat this process as many times as needed.

大概意思是Gore-Tex衣服在出厂前厂家是对面料进行过防水处理（水在面料表面珠化，不挂留）。但经过穿着和洗涤后防水处理层会退化，这时用蒸汽熨斗熨烫可以激活防水处理层，使得珠化效应再现。但最终防水处理层还是会彻底失效，这时使用者就得自己用含防水处理剂的喷洒液对Gore-Tex衣服进行防水处理。

我觉得对一般旅行者而言这个服装表面的防水功能不是必不可少的，一般面料表层的尼龙布几乎不吸水，沾点水也没什么，只要里层的Gore-Tex能防水透气就行了。我自己的Gore-Tex衣服穿了十几年从未熨烫过。
