With new laminate for top performance

In autumn/winter 2011/12 GORE BIKE WEAR® is focusing on the new GORE-TEX® Active Shell Laminate.
GORE-TEX® Active Shell is the magic ingredient and the product offers a new level of climate comfort. The new laminate from Gore creates the perfect balance between extreme breathability, lightness and optimum weather-proofing.

This is made possible by a unique new lamination technology. A lighter, thinner GORE-TEX® membrane is bound on the outside to fine fibre high-performance textiles and thanks to the new lamination technology, the lining is for the first time directly integrated into the GORE-TEX® membrane.
This creates an even more compact three layer design, a completely new level of breathability (RET < 3) and excellent next-to-skin comfort. The extreme breathability of the new laminate is supported by minimalist designs, without any unnecessary pockets and features.

The end result is an all year round solution that is extremely breathable and light, and with its sealed seams and GORE-TEX® membrane guarantees absolutely durable weather-proofing. Ideal for all athletic all weather sportsmen and women, e.g. racing cyclists and mountainbikers, who for their short, fast trip need lightweight clothing with optimum moisture regulation but nevertheless do not want to forego guaranteed durable weather-proofing.

GORE-TEX® Active Shell Highlights from GORE BIKE WEAR®
Particularly on bicycles, a cold airstream and rain make it hard to maintain a stable body climate. Thanks to the extreme breathability of the new laminate, sweat does not condense on the inside of clothing, but escapes outwards, whilst the cyclist is efficiently protected against cooling. 
 
The aerodynamic cut of the new OXYGEN GT AS Jacket is absolutely ideal for the stretched posture on a racing bicycle. GORE-TEX® Stretch, plus elasticated inserts on the high collar and cuffs, allow an optimum, close fit and thus guarantee the relevant protection during the whole year.
Away from asphalted roads the FUSION GT AS Jacket comes into its own, combined with the FUSION GT AS tights. The jacket and tights offer the mountain biker everything for a full day at top speed. The pre-shaped knees and elbows, the GORE-TEX® stretch gussets and the hood that can be stowed in the jacket collar, make the FUSION GT AS outfit the ideal all round garment.

GORE-TEX® Active Shell products from GORE BIKE WEAR® - stable body climate and thus improved performance - just the right thing for keen performance sportsmen and women who want to get the most out of their training.
