This was a fantastic invention and is probably used by every single American. I bought my first Gore-Tex raincoat about 1978.

I feel the same way. I salute this man and honor his memory, and am grateful for his contribution to our lives.

I think we should mummify him in Gore-Tex, just to freak out archaeologists 3,000 years from now.

Just be careful about wearing your Goretex coat in the liquor store.

The problem is, far and away most gore-tex is now made in China.

They also now make the “bag” part of bagpipes out of Gore-Tex nowadays, for which I am grateful.

They also invented coated guitar strings, sold under the brand Elixir, which I use exclusively. I have been to the factory in Elkton, MD.
