Gore-Tex has expanded its rental program called “Outerwear on Demand” in the U.S. The snowsports apparel rental service was originally launched in December 2020 and is now offered at 15 ski resorts and retail stores across the country. Gore-Tex has even developed a dedicated Outerwear On Demand collection. The apparel has numerous adaptable fit features and was designed specifically for the purpose. After the garments are returned, they are inspected, cleaned and packed into individual bags for the next customer. There is no purchase option. Gore-Tex is also considering the expansion of the program to other countries.
