The collaboration between Montane and the world’s leading developer of high performance textiles - W. L. Gore & Associates – will see Montane launch a GORE-TEX® specific range into its collection, comprising of shell and softshell jackets and pants and accessories.
Montane’s brand director Jonathan Petty said, “From the outset, our philosophy has always been about enabling aspiring athletes to go further, faster by offering a combination of premium, specifically selected fabric technologies, cutting edge construction techniques and ensuring that our clothing and accessories are designed for distinct outdoor mountain pursuits. Earning this Gore license is a great testament to our development and passion for applying and adhering to these principles. We are excited that this new partnership will see outdoor enthusiasts benefit from Montane’s exclusive designs combined with the total weather protection offered by Gore-Tex.”
Rick MacDonald, spokesman for W. L. Gore & Associates said, “Montane dominates the ‘fast and light’ arena and its high adrenaline, ‘Further. Faster’ philosophy fits perfectly with the Gore brand ethos. As a young and dynamic British brand, Montane is growing quickly in size and status and our collaboration will see the development of some very exciting, cutting edge designs using leading Gore-Tex performance fabrics.”
