No, not the former vice-president – I’m talking about the employee-owned sportswear, textile and polymer company.
Recently I bought a Gore-Tex jacket made by the Gore Bike-Wear company. Gore make some very expensive cycling garments. Mostly their stuff is awesome and well worth the money – unfortunately I’ve noticed that after some very modest use my “Paclite” yellow cycling jacket has become a lot less yellow. It’s become almost brown in places.

The strange thing is that these stains do not seem to be visible at all on the main parts of the jacket’s fabric – only on the thickest parts such as near the seams. It’s like the dark colour of the lining or the velcro material is bleeding through the yellow fabric turning it into a sort of dirty yellow. I hope somebody from the Gore company will contact me and offer to swap this jacket for a new one so that they can examine this and fix the problem.

From what I understand the Gore company sub-contracts out the manufacture of their garments, so the manufacturer of this item might not be WL Gore & Associates. Perhaps somebody who knows this product line can identify it from the code on the label: GORG2GIA137 407-7103.
