GORE-TEX ® Gear Comfort Tips

1. Less than one teaspoon (5 ml) of moisture inside your glove insulation can reduce your skin temperature by 10 degrees F. Count on totally waterproof gloves to keep your hands warm and dry.
2. Did you know that you're most comfortable with a tropical body microclimate of 90°-95° F and 40-60% humidity? Windproof technical outerwear helps keep you in that comfort zone.
3. Cold hands are really hard to warm back up. Make sure your hands start off warm, and keep them that way by wearing gloves that are windproof, waterproof, and breathable.
4. Put two individuals in identical wintertime conditions and their perception of comfort can vary by as much as 10 degrees. Weatherproof technical outerwear helps level the playing field.
5. Because of higher fat levels, women’s bodies store and regulate heat differently than men's. Waterproof, windproof winter gear helps you stay in the comfort zone.
6. The average hand sweats two teaspoons (10 ml) of water during an hour of skiing. Only breathable ski gloves will keep you dry and warm during these conditions.
7. Deep powder equals a great ride -- until you find yourself face down in it. Rely on guaranteed waterproof ski gear to keep you warm and protected out on the snow.
8. The wind-chill effect can radically alter your perception of comfort outdoors. Rely on totally windproof ski gear to keep you warm and protected out on the slopes.
9. Did you know that each of your feet emit one-quarter to almost one cup of moisture a day? Whoa! That's why breathable footwear is the key to all-day comfort.
10. Breathable technical outerwear can't stop you from sweating, but it can help prevent your clothing underneath from getting damp and clammy, causing you to get chilled in cold temperatures.
