Susanna L. WilliamsRain, hail, wind? No problem for this track coach

"I wore my GORE-TEX® brand jacket while I was coaching junior high track this spring. Spring in Oregon means rain, hail, sun, and wind — all in the same day.

One particularly bad day was, of course, a track meet. Because of the hail, wind, cold temperatures, and rain, the other coaches mainly stayed under cover. But I was wearing my GORE-TEX® jacket and was able to stay at the finish line all day while staying warm and dry. That meant I was a happy coach and the team was happy to have one of the coaches out there to cheer them on. We won the meet. Was that because of my GORE-TEX® jacket? We may never know for sure, but I think it had a big role in the win.

Thank you so much for making such a wonderful product that is truly revolutionary."
