Hmm, Steve, even you can do better than that. You say that Gore-Tex
has thread on their website, yet you show other websites. Now you know
that NONE of those products uses the Gore-Tex trademark.

The Thread Solution
Whether it's your boat canvas, awning or other outdoor fabric structure,
seam failure always results from thread that's adversly affected by the
elements. Now that problem is solved forever.

Why does stiching fail?
Outdoor canvas is exposed to ultraviolet(UV) radiation, cleaning agents,
pollution, sal****er and air, rain and snow. While these elements are
detrimental to both the fabric and seam thread, the thread usually fails
first. Polyester thread was traditionally used for sewing seams even though
it would often need replacement every few years. Today the latest fabrics
last 5 to 10 years. Why not have seams that last just as long?

Now there's GORE-TEX® sewing thread
This remarkable thread is manufactured from 100% expanded PTFE fiber, a
unique form of PTFE known as Teflon®. GORE-TEX® sewing thread will not
deteriorate from exposure to the elements. It's an ideal choice for sewing
outdoor fabric products, because it's immune to ultraviolet degredation, the
primary cause of seam failure.

Our Guarantee
We know that GORE-TEX® sewing thread never fails due to exposure to the
environment. We back up that claim with a full lifetime warranty. If the
seams on your boat cover or awning fail before the end of the usual life of
the fabric, we'll pay for the repair work.

Always ask for GORE-TEX® sewing thread
When it's time to restitch an awning or order a new boat cover or any other
outdoor fabric product, request GORE-TEX® sewing thread.
