Involve, entangle, implicate imply getting a person connected or bound up with something from which it is difficult to extricate himself or herself. To involve is to bring more or less deeply into something, especially of a complicated, embarrassing, or troublesome nature: to involve someone in debt.
GORE-TEX is an amazing breathable, waterproof textile found in high-performance clothes such as walking/hiking boots and mountain coats. Unlike ordinary synthetic textiles like nylon, GORE-TEX stops rain from getting in but lets perspiration out.
Photo: Look inside the boots and you can clearly see the GORE-TEX lining. The GORE-TEX fabric is inside the leather uppers. The leather keeps out some of the water; the GORE-TEX keeps out the rest. Suppose you're in the kitchen on a cold winter's day and you've got pans boiling away on the stove.
