    CHRIS EISENMANN

    At Gore, Chris develops the garment technology of tomorrow. In doing his work, he likes to take a deep dive behind the scenes: How exactly does the technology work? Why? Where are the limits? What can be improved? Chris prefers to test his inventions himself. He does this by snowboarding in the winter, mountain biking in the summer, and running the whole year through.

    When is a garment waterproof?

    Product specialist Chris can tell you why the water column rating is not a particularly accurate measure of waterproofness and what this has to do with our “rain room”.
