Why Gore?

    The main reason that so many companies, governments and end-users rely on protective clothing engineered with GORE and GORE-TEX fabrics and technologies are our uncompromising, rigorous testing for long lasting functionality and high quality, resulting in exceptional product benefits. Not only is the specific technology of each product tested, but also the complete garment, footwear or gloves. Because our PPE is so reliable, firefighters, rescue services, the military, police, security services, construction workers, service providers, and many other professionals, are able to fully focus on the daily demands of their important work and get the job done safely, effectively, and efficiently.

    Quality management

    Professionals purchasing products engineered with GORE-TEX or GORE technologies can be assured of their quality. Based on our deep understanding of wearers' requirements, we test all of our products extensively replicating real-life situations, both in the lab and in the field. Our quality management continuously monitors the production of the laminate as well as the manufacture of the end product. For additional quality assurance, we only partner with reliable, licensed customers. By maintaining our partnerships, we also ensure expert advice, recommendations, technical support and consistent quality throughout the supply chain.

    CUSTOMIZING FOR THE WEARER

    Our guiding principle is the “Fitness for Use” approach. Through our deep understanding of wearers' requirements, we tailor our high-value fabrics to their specific needs, with the conditions of their work environments in mind. To achieve this, we analyse the interaction between wearers, their environment and their protective clothing, including factors such as: the physical activity of wearers and duration of activity; heat balance/ perspiration; material specifications and the design of the garment; environmental factors such as heat, damp, cold, wet. In doing so, we provide dependable protection and products comfortable to wear, even in challenging circumstances. Or, in other words, we do our utmost to make sure our products perform as promised.

    GOOD RETURN ON INVESTMENT

    We at the Gore know about performance: For over 40 years, we have been designing durable products that are tested to the extreme and perform in the harshest conditions, enabling people to perform at their best.
