Gore-Tex

Ducati has released three new technical riding boots made with Gore-Tex and Vibram soles, designed to be worn year-round in all weather conditions. The gear is aimed at motorcyclists, or 'moteros', looking for all-season protection. Motorcycling communities in Spain are picking up the news as part of ongoing chatter around rider equipment.

A German running blog is revisiting its archived review of a Dynafit trail running jacket made with Gore-Tex Shakedry, an ultralight waterproof membrane marketed for shedding water by simply shaking it off. The item resurfaced among outdoor and trailrunning audiences, sparking renewed attention to Shakedry gear for hiking and wet-weather running, years after Gore discontinued the technology.
