Gore running wear® fall winter 1516 brand booklet

INTO THE ELEMENTS A TRIBUTE TO THE WIND, SUN AND RAIN. AND TO SMALL DETAILS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. We have over 15 years experience of creating functional apparel for dedicated runners and we know what it takes to innovate in a sport that is constantly evolving. Our products are based on scientific breakthroughs we have made ourselves, in our own labs. We use these breakthroughs to design unique, sport specific solutions and incorporate them into our outfit systems. This way we are always ahead of the curve.

But it’s also our belief that to truly create great products it’s not enough to rely solely on science, we must also understand the people who use them. That’s why we always make sure that we are close to the consumer before we create a new concept. Ensuring we always deliver the best experience for runners and enabling them to head out into the elements any time they want. No matter the weather or season.

When we realize our ideas to their fullest potential we help runners push themselves to the next level. To reach new heights and enjoy the feeling of progress. To us, there is nothing better.

OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY When developing new concepts we ask ourselves one question: does this product make life easier for a runner?

If there is no clear answer we go back to the drawing board. It may sound harsh but that’s just the first of many tests we perform on the long road from idea to finished product. We believe that extensive testing, both on the field and in our own prototype lab is the only way to create apparel that live up to the GORE RUNNING WEAR® brand. Of course this leads to a lot of failures during development but we find that we actually learn more from failure than success. It’s hard work but innovation never comes easy.

WITH THE WIND AT YOUR COMMAND AIR Picture this. You are going out for a morning run, it’s a chilly autumn morning and a slight breeze is rustling the trees. What do you wear? It’s cold right now but after running a couple of minutes your body will generate a lot of heat. The last thing you want is to be uncomfortable.

This is now a problem of the past. Thanks to a new breakthrough in WINDSTOPPER® technology the AIR WS SO Shirt long is more versatile than ever. It uses WINDSTOPPER® fabrics to protect crucial places from wind, while integrated ventilation areas help your body stay at just the right temperature. You don’t have to bring a jacket or a vest, just use the shirt in combination with the right base layer and you’re ready for any weather.

Getting dressed for a run has never been easier and the AIR WS SO Shirt long is just one example of how the whole new AIR line can be a runners best friend.

EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED X-RUNNING & X-RUN ULTRA

Spanning eight stages and countless summits and peaks the famous GORE-TEX® Transalpine-Run is one of the greatest trail running challenges in the world. The race takes eight days to complete and the weather is constantly changing during that time. Athletes have to be prepared for absolutely everything. It’s no wonder many of them rely on GORE RUNNING WEAR® trail running products and Outfit Systems. The perfect combination of lightweight materials, innovative features and necessary weather protection. The carefully selected and highly breathable fabrics are so versatile that the runners can bring less equipment with them. This means less time worrying about the weather and more time focusing on the challenge instead.

Over the last 10 years we have participated in the race several times and collected feedback from the Transalpine-Run athletes themselves. This dialogue has resulted in countless improvements and tweaks to our apparel and will continue to do so many more years in the future. Because as long as there are challenges like the GORE-TEX® Transalpine-Run in the world, we’re not going anywhere.

With the high-tech functionality of

X-RUNNING 2.0 GT AS Jacket. The close-fitting hood and the abrasion-restistant tape on the shoulder seams are just some of the details that make this jacket the best choice in the spectacular GORE-TEX速 Transalpine-Run.

STAYING DRY WITH GORE-TEX ®

Even if the rain is pouring and you’re sweating our apparel keeps you dry. Guaranteed. This may sound impossible but in the GORE-TEX® fabric there are billions of tiny pores that are 20,000 times smaller than a water drop but 700 times larger than water vapor. Rain is kept out while perspiration vaporizes, meaning you’ll stay dry no matter what. Nothing to it really, just cutting edge science.
