The MountainTechs™ Project
MountainTechs is a virtual community of passionate outdoor enthusiasts, ranging from highly experienced to expert. Each MountainTech participates actively in one or more self-powered mountain sports – hiking, backpacking, camping, mountain climbing, rock climbing, paddling, mountain biking, trail running, skiing or other snow sports, fishing. Over 1,000 MountainTechs live in all 50 states and Canada, and play outdoors across the U.S. and globally.
W.L.Gore & Associates sponsors this project as one way to get closer to consumers….gaining input on consumer wants and needs, on reactions to planned products and campaigns….and as a way to get word out on Gore products and Gore’s customers’ (the brands) products.
What are the Benefits for MountainTechs™ ?
Featured MountainTech
MountainTech Matt Galvin has found an unusual way to live out the dream of working in the outdoors doing what he enjoys most. Matt runs Coastal Yacht Charters in Charleston SC – an elite fleet of luxury cruising yachts available for custom trips to the Bahamas, or just down the SC coast; from fishing in the Gulf Stream to weddings, celebrations or dockside parties. For more info, see: http://www.coastal-yacht-charters.com/index.html

- Learn more about materials, layering, care and comfort.
- Earn points that can be traded for the latest Gore products.
- Test these products, and provide feedback.
- Identify unmet wants and needs in outerwear and gear.
- Evaluate ad campaigns, marketing campaigns, product concepts and more.
- Participate in the online community of like-minded outdoor fanatics.
