SPECIAL SKIWEAR MATERIALS

Insulation Layers

This is the layer of material within a piece of skiwear that locks heat in and keeps you warm. We use three breathable insulation materials in our skiwear: our own Thermabody insulation, Primaloft Silver and PrimaLoft Silver Down Blend. We also use Thermagrid as a warm midlayer fabric for our Microfleeces, and Thermaflect as a heat-storing lining on some of our products.

PRIMALOFT SILVER

PrimaLoft Silver is a top-quality polyester insulation. What makes it great for skiing is that it’s been specially developed for wet and damp conditions: PrimaLoft Silver keeps its structure and stays warm when it gets wet. It’s also fast-drying and easy to care for, while its lack of bulk means awesome freedom of movement and makes it easy to compress.

Thermabody

Our Thermabody is an insulation we use in some of our warmest and most insulated products for real mid-winter conditions. It’s made from synthetic non-woven polyester – really durable and resilient.

Thermagrid

A special material we use for our fleeces, which provides awesome breathability and warmth. It’s all about the grid construction: it lets vapor escape, retains warmth, wicks away sweat and dries quickly. It also stretches in all directions for greater comfort. And it comes with an anti-odor finish to keep skiers fresh.

Thermaflect

In our Alps jacket, we’ve added Thermaflect to the lining over cold-sensitive areas like your kidneys and shoulders. It’s a special yarn mixed with tiny pieces of volcanic rock. This helps the yarn absorb heat quicker than a non-treated yarn, and retain heat for longer. So you stay warmer without losing any breathability.

Primaloft Silver Down Blend

or how we call it hybrid Down

This is a combination of ultra-fine PrimaLoft Silver fiber and white duck down that brings out the best in both: the amazing warmth of natural down with the moisture resistance of synthetic fibres.

So it stays warm even when wet, it dries quickly and never clumps. It also feels really soft and unbulky.
One of the most innovative insulation currently on the market.
