Email response from the ‘Communications & External Affairs Leader for W. L. Gore & Associates | Fabrics’
Gore’s Fabrics business has made the difficult decision to close our GOREWEAR apparel, cycling, and running business after over 40 years of dedication and hard work. Despite our best efforts, we faced significant challenges that made it difficult to continue in a highly competitive landscape.
We’re incredibly grateful for the loyalty the cycling industry has shown us. Together, we’ve pushed the boundaries in the cycling and running apparel worlds, helping athletes gear up for every weather and every adventure.
Our focus is now on supporting our Associates and ensuring a smooth transition while honoring our business partners’ commitments until March 31, 2026. It’s been an unforgettable journey —and one of our greatest journeys yet.
Thoughts: I am sad to see this happen, as I loved GOREWEAR’s lineup. It used Gore’s waterproof, water-resistant, and windproof materials in jackets, pants, and shorts. Additionally, they produced fantastic cycling bibs, tights, shorts, jerseys, and more.
The gear covered a wide range of sports, including mountain biking, road biking, and running. I will miss the incredible apparel lineup. Long live GOREWEAR.
