Say Goodbye To Gortex Clothing In New York State?

The summer heat and humidity are still holding strong here in New York State. In fact, some cities recorded their hottest days ever this August. But for those who have lived here long enough, we know that the cold days are not that far away.

Back to school is here and so is back to school shopping! Families are digging for the deals on shoes, backpacks and supplies as prices are higher than ever! But there are some items that your kids need to stay warm and comfortable when the arctic air arrives at the bus stop.

When you reach for that coat or gloves, or even a pair of boots, they may be made with a warm and waterproof material. Gortex has been around for some time and when it first arrived on the market, just about everyone who had an item of clothing would proudly announce. "these are, or this is, GORTEX". Fast forward to 2023 and we may be seeing the end of it.

However, the other side of the argument is that state governments are moving too quickly to shut things down. From gas stoves, to gas powered vehicles and now clothing, there are a variety of things that have a target on them.

While we wait to see what's next, Gortex sure has made living in a cold, wet climate more manageable. If you ski, play or work outside in the winter months, Gortex clothing helps to keep you warm and dry. It's one of those conveniences that we take for granted and if you are creative, perhaps you can come up with the next best thing?
