Gore is a multinational company with several locations in the world, including one in Bavaria dedicated to research and development, visited by Neveitalia with a complete report.
The production is different in different laminates, used by many fashion houses, not only in the field of alpine skiing and mountaineering'' s, but also for fishing, hunting, cycling, running, and military clothing.
After the presentation of'' Active Shell, which has eased its laminate, Gore went in search of ways to improve the heavier fabric: Gore-Tex Pro, dedicated, in fact, professionals neve.Tale laminate is the preferred choice for those who need to combine the lightness and breathability of the material to a high strength: rocks and fast movements can not cause tearing. Do not think'' s equipment when you are mountain guides and professional athletes or simple freeriders is essential. The Gore-Tex Pro is designed to resist when you are climbing, rubbing the harness and backpack straps, possible falls and rubbing on the rocks. Thanks to better breathability reduces the risk of accumulation of sweat on the climbs more strenuous or when the salt'' adrenaline along the fast descents, both on track and off-piste. In particular, during the activity with frequent work-rest cycles, ie when you switch agonism at rest, and it is for this reason that the new laminate Gore-Tex caught our aution: it can be a valid alternative in the case of alternating freeride skiers (where you need maximum water resistance) to skiing highly athletic track (where you transpiration) and the consequent breaks in slope (where necessary to maintain body heat).
'' For the winter 2013-14 the three-layer waterproof, windproof and breathable offer greater strength and better breathability compared to the previous generation. To develop the new generation of clothing, designers have completely revolutionized the whole system of production'''' s clothing, not the choice of the membrane and tissue. The new multi-layer system, is in fact equipped with special microstructures made of 100% ePTFE, and rolled firmly to the outer material and a lining on the inside'' specially sviluppata.Inoltre outdoor fabrics are of excellent quality ( money ˃ 40) and the production design all'' avant-garde'' guarantees excellent performance in terms of robustness. In addition, the patented Gore Micro Grid Backer which ensures maximum resistance to'' internal abrasion and tear resistance.
Stay tuned on Neveitlia, the Gore-Tex Pro 2014 will be subject to a comprehensive test on the snow!
