Gore Gets Compressed

Gore’s line of fitness products are ideal for stopping the wind and helping keep athletes warm in cooler – even cold – weather. Come this fall Gore Running Wear is doing some compressing, as in launching a line of compression-wear. This new line of tight fitting apparel made its debut at last month’s Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City, and includes the windstopper Magnitude Softshell Compression Shirt that is will stop the wind and provide compression attributes as well. It features a body-mapped construction that offers compression support to help wearers retain the right posture for more effective breathing.

In other words this helps block the wind and help with the wearer’s wind as well.

Old Hunters Never Die, They Just Optifade Away

After introducing its Gore Optifade Concealment Open Country pattern, which was optimized for backcountry hunters, in 2009 the company has now developed a Forest Pattern for tree stand hunters who scout out wooded environments and from elevated angles.

This is because those who hunt from heights tend to have stark contrasts, notably bright sky, dark leaves and branches, as well as being defined by the lines of trees. These lines say experts make it easier for dder and other animals to detect a hunter because of the contrasts with the sky with branches. Those the new Forest pattern doesn’t make it so easier for the prey to see the hunter in the forest from the trees. The Forest pattern is reported to have been scientifically designed for close engagement ranges of under 20 yards and for elevated angles.
