Thrilled to welcome Ole Einar Bjørndalen
Cross-country skiers tend to move at a brisk pace and know how uncomfortable it can be when their outerwear is too warm. At the same time, they need to be prepared for cold temperatures. The very first GORE® Wear XC ski collection builds a bridge. Tested by the most successful biathlon Olympian Ole Einar Bjørndalen it features form-fitting shirts and tights with great freedom of movement - light enough to let sweat escape easily, strong enough to protect against wind and cold.

Greetings from Mars
Ever since the InSight Mars Lander arrived safely on the red planet in November, not a day has gone by without new photos and reports from afar. Gore’s cables were used as part of the navigation system and are also on board the lander itself, communicating data back to Earth and helping scientists understand the formation and early evolution of rocky planets.

“Selected Memories of Functionality” at the Paris Men’s Fashion Week

For the first time, Gore hosted a showroom featuring iconic GORE-TEX® and GORE-TEX® INFINIUM™ products. Co-curated by stylist Stephen Mann the “Selected Memories of Functionality” exhibition intended to inspire lifestyle and functional apparel companies about the functional excellence of the GORE-TEX® brand.

GORE™ High Temperature Capacitors Earn Global Honors
GORE™ High Temperature Capacitors took home this year’s global Plunkett award for excellence in fluoropolymer innovation. With applications in the oilfield services and aerospace industries, Gore’s innovation enables a film dielectric, known for reliability, to be used in a temperature range not previously possible. Gore is working with leaders in oilfield and aerospace innovation to put the capacitors to use in these industries.

Addressing the Challenge of Silicone-Sensitive Biologics
Biologic drugs are at the forefront of biomedical research. Developed to treat complex diseases like cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, they are typically administered by injection. However, some biologics can negatively interact with silicone, a common lubricant within a pre-filled syringe delivery system. The new GORE™ ImproJect™ Plunger eliminates the need for silicone in both plunger and glass barrel, while ensuring the functionality and performance of pre-filled syringes.
