ONE GLOVE, TWO CHAMBERS, TRIPLE COMFORT
Gore announces its innovative two chamber glove for winter 2007/8. Two gloves, one inside the other, already exist. At least, that’s what you might be thinking right now. Combination glove systems with inner and outer gloves are well known, but they’re not always practical. The new GORE-TEX® glove with GORE® 2 in 1 technology is two gloves engineered into one, giving you the choice between comfortably warm hands and perfect grip. How the double-chamber system works Warmth and tactility hadn’t been compatible until now! The GORE® 2 in 1 technology for GORE-TEX® gloves solves this problem with a unique invention: a double-chamber system in a single glove. The “WARM” chamber is ideal for cold weather, sensitive hands or non-strenuous activities. The “GRIP” chamber ensures perfect grip and high tactility thanks to minimal insulation. The “snag tag” (a practical tab between the two chambers) makes it easy to slip your hand into the correct chamber. How the GORE® technology is built The GORE® 2 in 1 technology uses nature’s best insulator: air. When the hand is in the upper “WARM” chamber, thermal insulation surrounds the entire hand and individually surrounds each finger. This thick padding captures a lot of air, so it can achieve maximum warmth. When the hand switches into the lower “GRIP” chamber, insulation is now only on the back of the hand, where the insulation is compressed. This leaves less air in the padding, thus reducing the amount of thermal insulation. An optimum level of insulation is provided on the palm, fingers and fingertips. This significantly increases both the tactility and the firmness of grip, whilst allowing excess heat to escape easily.
