GORE OPTIFADE Concealment

The Science of Nothing

GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is the first scientifically developed concealment technology based on how prey animals see the world.

Unlike traditional hunting patterns that mimic nature, GORE OPTIFADE Concealment consists of digital patterns engineered to make it difficult for prey to detect and recognize humans. Developed after lengthy research with top animal vision and military camouflage scientists, this truly innovative technology will enable hunters to take closer, more effective shots.

This technology is offered in three patterns. The first two patterns were designed for hunting deer and other ungulates (hoofed animals) in open country and forest environments. The third science-based hunting concealment pattern is the first to be optimized for hunting waterfowl.


ELIXIR® Strings

Unlike Elixir Strings, other guitar strings become sabotaged by dirt and debris, which builds up between the gaps in the windings, contaminating the string and killing tone. With Elixir Strings, we add an ultra-thin fluoropolymer coating that acts as a physical barrier between the strings and its damaging environment.

Elixir Strings is the only brand to coat the entire string -- protecting not only the outer string surface, but also the  gaps between the string windings. As a result, Elixir Strings retain their tone longer than any other string, uncoated or coated*.

No wonder musicians around the world make Elixir Strings their guitar string of choice.

GORE® CLEANSTREAM® Filters

GORE® CLEANSTREAM® Filters come factory-installed on many leading brands of household vacuum cleaners including Dirt Devil®, Eureka®, and Beam® Central Vac. They are quickly becoming the primary filter of choice for bagless vacuum cleaners, and can also be found on some models as post-motor or final filters, where CleanStream filters capture particles before air exits the vacuum cleaner.

Consumers can be confident that filters are custom-manufactured to the specifications of each make and model of vacuum cleaner in which they are installed. W. L. Gore & Associates and the vacuum cleaner manufacturers work closely together to provide a proper fit that results in optimized vacuum cleaner performance.

GORE® CLEANSTREAM® Filters are also available for most brands of wet/dry vacuums. Our exclusive nonstick surface stops ultra-fine dust and is easily cleaned to restore the airflow of your vacuum. Most filters use depth filtration which traps dirt inside the filters. These filters eventually clog and must be replaced.

GORE® CLEANSTREAM® Filters trap dirt on the surface – just tap or rinse to clean – dirt and debris is removed from the filter. Filters pick up either wet or dry – no need to remove filter when used for water leaks, wet basement, plumbing emergencies and spills. Available with HEPA Filtration (99.97% efficient at 0.3 microns) or High Efficiency Filtration (99.7% efficient at 0.3 microns).
