Real Life Stories
Marlene GartnerDon’t get caught camping without your GORE-TEX® jacket
"My husband and I went camping last weekend and we had nothing but horrible, cold, rainy weather.
While packing to go, my husband brought his GORE-TEX® jacket and told me I should bring something warm too. I said, 'It's summertime — it's not going to be cold enough for a heavy jacket.' Boy was I wrong. It poured rain the entire weekend and I was freezing cold.
My husband gave me his GORE-TEX® jacket to wear, which is not only warm, but waterproof. What a lifesaver! He got his GORE-TEX® jacket as a gift from work for a safety record. Now I am going to get one for myself and it will be the first thing I pack on our next camping trip."
