Additional fabrics…

These additional technical fabrics are combined with GORE-TEX® and WINDSTOPPER® products to create a broad range of high functioning clothing.
The carefully constructed garments in the GORE RUNNING WEAR® range offer these crucial benefits:
• Compression
• moisture management
• thermoregulation
• cooling
• venting.
Compression
Compression fabrics are beneficial because they improve fit without restricting movement. They accelerate blood circulation by applying pinpointed pressure to specific parts of the body. This accelerated blood circulation increases oxygen supply, which means better performance during cardiovascular exercise and shorter muscle recovery time afterwards.
Moisture management
As moisture is created by physical exertion, it needs to be wicked away because it cools the body, leading to discomfort. The combining of an internal hydrophobic fibre with an external hydrophobic fibre creates a push-pull effect, which means that the moisture evaporates on the external layer. Because the moisture doesn’t stick to the skin, comfort and performance are significantly improved.
Thermoregulation
Temperature regulation is important because if your body cools down, the muscles get an insufficient blood supply, and if the muscles don't receive adequate blood supply, performance is hindered and accidents are more likely.
Temperature control materials used in GORE RUNNING WEAR® products are highly wicking on the inside; they are extremely soft to the touch and offer excellent insulation. Sweat exits the body quickly, which stops the body from cooling down and the fabric from sticking to the skin. As a result you stay warmer and dryer.
Cooling and venting
Microfibre is an essential ingredient in running gear temperature management because it keeps body temperature at a constant. Clothing made with microfibre is more breathable than clothing made from natural materials as well as being excellent for thermoregulation. The clothing is also fast drying, durable and easy to both wear and care for.
Gore's unique quality testing
At every step of the way, from research, through to the design and manufacture of their sports gear, Gore ensures that their products perform, through constant innovation and the highest of standards. Each individual fabric and factory is evaluated in order to meet strict quality criteria. Every item of clothing made with GORE-TEX(r) fabrics is made in a certified factory and is subject to frequent laboratory tests that are created and patented by Gore. Temperature and sweat zones as well as cooling and ventilation areas and seam position are all rigorously tested throughout the process.
And it doesn't end with vigorous lab tests, Gore make a point of testing their clothing on real people. Testers put their running gear through its paces so you can be sure that the clothing you buy will be fit for purpose in the rugged outdoors and won't let you down.
