Gore Launch New Stuff Scoop

We're just back from France where Gore told us all about their newest fabric innovation. What is it?

We're just back from sunny Lyons where Gore very kindly took us to eat Thai food and tell us all about their latest fabric innovation and very interesting it looks too...

We could tell you but...

We'd love to tell you more but we're simply not allowed to. Not only would we have to blow up your cat, but bulldoze your house and eat your budgie, deep fried, between two slices of bread.
What we can tell you though is that whatever it is that Gore is going to unleash early next year, it looks good and is 40 per-cent more breathable. More breathable than what? Er, 'fraid we can't tell you that either, but trust us, it looks like an interesting addition to, er, to, well, nope, can't say.

What we can say is that it isn't a new bagpipe sack and you can't eat it. The good news is that we have a sample of the wonder thing on test right now and come August, we'll tell you all about it. For now though, you'll just have to be patient or offer us colossal sums of money to spill the beans...

My reconing it's a revolutionary new widproof fleece which is 40% more breathable but still too clammy and hot for Britain. Or maybe 40% mmore breathable gas masks.

And why take you out to france for Thai food, couldnt they have done it in that really nice chippy in Skipton?

My lips are 40 per-cent sealed. I cannot say a word more. But yeah, it was odd going to Lyon, the cullinary capital of France, and then eating Thai food. Slightly surreal, but it was a good night and some interesting stuff, which I still can't talk about...
