For clarification and in response to news reports at the Ryder Cup regarding the malfunction of the U.S. Team's rainwear, W.L. Gore & Associates today issued the following statement:
"It's unfortunate that the U.S. team at the Ryder Cup was not wearing uniforms with the GORE-TEX brand, especially if the faulty gear ultimately interfered with performance," said Yvonne Erickson, marketing leader at W.L. Gore & Associates. "Gore has rigorous uncompromising testing processes in place to ensure that our products meet the highest standards, to back up our Guaranteed to Keep you Dry promise to consumers. Gore and Sun Mountain Sports parted ways in 2006 and, therefore, GORE-TEX brand technology was not used in the rain jackets and pants worn by the U.S. team this morning. We hope that both of the Ryder Cup Teams will be wearing uniforms with GORE-TEX product technology in the future."
