"At Gorewear, we can simulate rain in a sophisticated test facility. Prototypes have to pass this test both when new and after simulated wear and tear. This is the only way we can ensure that the end product is permanently waterproof. Only when it can withstand the rain can it go into production and receive the Gore-Tex "Guarantee to keep you dry" promise," explains Christopher Eisenmann, Global Project Champion at W.L. Gore & Associates GmbH.

Endure jacket for off-road

If you are looking for optimum weather protection, the ultra-light Endure jacket made from Gore-Tex "Paclite® Plus" material is the perfect product. The sophisticated design reliably accompanies mountain bikers, commuters and gravel bikers on all trails and in all weathers, in line with the Gore-Tex "Guarantee to keep you dry" promise. The Endure jacket is a real all-rounder. While the longer cut at the back keeps splash water out, the hood can be pulled over the helmet for additional protection from the elements. Thanks to a special construction in which a Gore-Tex membrane is bonded directly to an abrasion-resistant outer layer, the product guarantees waterproof and lightweight protection with an extremely small pack size. This means that the jacket can always be taken along and used in unpredictable showers. Many color variations bring variety for the coming season.
