Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@j b, And the boot rack.
But also some responsible for some leaps in medical survivability with certain implants and also some very clever cabling back in the 90s, some with military applications.

When GT made it to market, they had a killer demo at the REI flagship store: a half-full beaker of water with the top sealed with a layer of GT. The beaker was tipped 90 degrees so that the GT was holding the water in the beaker, which was positioned over a torch flame. This caused the water to boil, and the liquid stayed in the beaker and the steam came through the GT, proving its vapor permeability right there in your face. Beyond brilliant in my view, though a bit of a fire hazard!

I remember my first goretex jacket (Dark blue) back in about 1985 ? I think I used it for the Pennine way.
In my opinion Gore Tex is still the most effective and durable performance material for the harsh uk mountain environment.

Transformed my hillwalking experience when it came out - and that extended into skiing. Brilliant stuff. Thank you Mr Gore - RIP.

I always put Goretex and Thinsulate as two of the best inventions of the 20th century for outdoors.

@GlasgowCyclops, I'd say that as a theory it's full of holes....
