Hello. I take you in Munich,
and more exactly to Feldkirchen-Westerham,
in the premises of the company Gore-Tex.
From 14 till 16 October 2011,
this famous German brand organized for the first time
Gore-Tex Blogger Summit,
a weekend during which Gore-Tex opened its doors
to around 24 bloggers coming from everywhere in Europe.
Small reminder, Gore Tex is the brand
which guarantees to keep you dry.
This guarantee allows every holder of product Gore-Tex
to benefit from a comfort during its sports activities.
And to guarantee this comfort,
products Gore Tex are waterproof,
so that you are not wet by rainy time;
breathing,
to evacuate your perspiration during the effort;
and windbreak, to protect you from the cold.
To guarantee you this quality,
lab Gore Tex make undergo in the technical textiles of numerous tests.
So, textiles are going to be washed
several times in machine in extreme conditions,
are going to be manipulated in all directions
to verify their efficiency in movement,
undergo pressures
and of course subjected to the test of impermeability…
In brief, the Gore-Tex textile
is examined under all his sewings…
All these tests in lab are realized on textiles
before the realization of the product.
But once realized, the product Gore tex
still undergoes tests to protect from its quality.
So, products are again tested on their waterproofness.
And they are also subjected to the strength of the wind,
to guarantee the Windstopper effect.
I received by Gore-Tex a little gift:
a Gore-Tex Active Shell jacket.
We saw all the tests realized in labs.
Now let us be going to make field-testing
of these products.
Here we go!
