My personal GORE-TEX experience
Not only does GORE-TEX keep you dry, the product is also very durable. I have a gore-tex jacket that has kept me dry for over twenty years. It is still going strong and has given me no reason to want to buy a new one.
My GORE-TEX jacket was recently put to the test in Costa Rica. I visited Corcovado National Park during Costa Rica’s rainy season. Corcovado has been called by National Geographic as the most biologically intense place on earth. This is due to its wet rainforest climate. It rained every day I spent in the park, but I stayed dry in my trusty GORE-TEX jacket.
The jacket has also been adorned several times in Quetico Provincial Park fishing and canoeing in Canada. In the last two years we beat the elements several times as thunderstorms cascaded down in our campground. We stayed dry thanks to GORE-TEX raingear.
I also own a pair of GORE-TEX gaiters. Each winter I lace up my gaiters around my cross-country ski boots and no matter how snowy it is the bottom of my pants stay dry. This is another product that I have had for over twenty years.
THE GORE-TEX Promise:
GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY is more than a slogan about waterproofness, windproofness and breathability; it's a promise that you'll resist the elements in the mot impossible of conditions; a promise that you can trust your GORE-TEX equipment the way you trust the sun to rise on another day of adventure.
Upload your video or photograph and then stop by to vote through December 15. Who does not want a chance to win free gear.
