Alongside their new range of colourful and practical apparel, GORE couldn’t keep stand-goers away from their survival jacket, the GORE Rescue WS AS, which is destined to become a permanent trail companion in any backpack as it proves its defiance to the weather conditions.

30 Jahre GORE – herzlichen Glückwunsch!
30 years of GORE – happy birthday!

Nicely timed to coincide with the firm’s 30 year anniversary, GORE’s generously-sized stand at EUROBIKE 2015 was home to their brand new GORE Rescue WS AS jacket, which weighs just 126 g (size large) and boasts effective protection against the wind and weather. Featuring a WINDSTOPPER membrane, taped seams and a sealed zip, the extremely lightweight and packable jacket has been designed to eliminate any potential weaknesses where the elements could penetrate.

Sowohl die Innen- als auch die Außenseite der Rescue WS AS-Jacke waren an einem Modell ausgestellt.

GORE präsentierte eine umfangreiche, farbenfrohe Frauenlinie.
GORE also presented their new extensive women’s range in a range of fashionable block colours.

Given its low weight and tiny size when packed down, the jacket is highly unlikely to ever see the inside of your wardrobe – instead destined to spend the entire year in your backpack, and – in the case of a downturn in the weather – it’ll safely keep you shielded and dry.

Die neuen Produkte bieten etwas für jede Witterung – schlechtes Wetter soll nicht mehr als Ausrede gelten können.
Bad weather isn’t a valid excuse these days – and definitely not with GORE’s newest range to tackle any weather conditions.
Auch gewagtere Farbkombinationen waren am GORE-Stand zu entdecken.
Lots of colours were to be discovered at the GORE booth.

The days of understated greys are long gone – GORE have served up an array of bright coloured apparel for men too.

GORE’s new bike collection for 2016 was also on display, offering more colour for your cash. With their ‘Power Trail Lady’ female line, GORE have designed a line of riding-specific apparel for mountain biking females, who aren’t willing to compromise when it comes to functionality or aesthetics. Offering hoodies, shorts and jerseys (long-sleeved, short-sleeved and vest-style), GORE can clad you whatever the conditions.

The products are due to be released in March 2016.
