Responsible Performance Three-Layer Jacket With Kinetic Garment Design

The Concurve Jacket is packed with innovation to take running in bad weather to a new level. During product development, the GOREWEAR designers not only paid attention to the further development of function, but also to sustainability. This jacket is among the first to use the new PFC-free GORE-TEX fabric with ePE membrane, which features a reduced carbon footprint and enhanced performance, to the endurance end use.

While traditional garment design is based on a static shape, GOREWEAR's Kinetic Garment Design process orients the fabric in the optimal direction of stretch for each section of the garment to optimize ergonomics while minimizing seams. To drape the fabric on bodies in motion, GOREWEAR uses advanced 3D visualization.

The Concurve Jacket is designed to reflect the characteristic movement patterns of a runner and provides a fit that feels like a second skin. The jacket was developed with the running posture in mind: chest forward, shoulders slightly pulled back and elbows bent. It adapts effortlessly to the body's natural movements.

The GORE-TEX 3L laminate is strategically positioned to adapt to the body's biomechanical movement patterns. GOREWEAR has also done away with the traditional seams that used to run across the shoulder, front and neck, while realizing a slim, streamlined fit. This design refinement not only makes the jacket exceptionally light, but also ensures unrestricted freedom of movement while running.

This lightweight GORE-TEX jacket is aimed at runners looking for unrestricted freedom of movement, ultimate weather protection and responsible performance. It uses the newly developed PFC-free GORE-TEX fabric with innovative ePE membrane, which was launched on the market for the first time last fall. The membrane is made of expanded polyethylene and is durably waterproof, windproof and breathable. Its improved strength-to-weight ratio means that less material is required, which not only has a positive impact on resource efficiency and the carbon footprint, but also on the weight of the jacket. Nevertheless, the new membrane is as durable and long-lasting as previous GORE-TEX membranes.
