W. L. Gore & Associates Highlight New Light and Fast Gore-Tex(r) Fabric at Shot 2014

The light and fast GORE-TEX® fabric from W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. is an extremely breathable, lightweight fabric that provides durable waterproof and windproof protection with improved next-to-skin comfort. The new technology significantly reduces build-up of under-layer condensation during and after periods of high intensity activity without sacrificing environmental protection.  Key industry leaders, including ADS, Arc’Teryx, Patagonia, and Wild Things, are introducing new products that feature this new lightweight, highly breathable fabric.

Gore will be exhibiting the new light and fast GORE-TEX® fabric at the upcoming SHOT Show, Jan 14-17, Sands Expo Center, Las Vegas, NV, in booth #10370.
