Driven by a desire to ride, run and be outside year-round, through every season and all types of weather, GOREWEAR was founded in 1984 when a small team of product developers in Germany created the first cycling jacket made with breathable, waterproof GORE-TEX fabric. Over the past four decades, we have evolved into the industry leader in comfort and protection for endurance athletes seeking reliable protection from the elements.
The FIRST GORE-TEX JACKET
BEHIND THE DESIGN
We are inventors and experimenters. Always curious, always aiming for what’s new and what’s next: more advanced materials, better construction, a more comfortable design. It’s all guided by the belief that a better fit, a bit more warmth or breathability, and robust protection from the elements can empower people to push onward toward new personal bests.
THE PURSUIT OF BETTER
Whether or not we finish the race or reach the podium, achieve a new PR, or eke out a faster time, it’s the pursuit that matters most. It’s about pushing ourselves to find new limits. Because overcoming challenges on the road or trail makes us stronger, physically and mentally. Not only in athletic pursuits, but also in how we move through the world, how we interact with our family, our friends, and our community. This is what fuels our commitment to continuously push forward and create the constant flow of innovation that empowers the daily climb.
THE SCIENCE OF COMFORT AND PROTECTION
How do we put those beliefs into action? By leveraging the full depth of Gore material technologies, expertise, and scientific testing to create gear with the highest level of waterproof, windproof, warmth, fit, feel, sustainability and style—in all environments, climates and weather conditions. We test in the lab and in the field, working with material scientists and the most advanced production facilities in the world to find new levels of comfort and protection, while minimizing our impact on the planet.
