Innovative construction, enhanced warmth

Our natural and synthetic temperature-regulating insulation technology.


About the
technology

50-50 construction delivers superior warmth and temperature-regulating insulation.

The highly breathable face fabric is fitted with insulation-filled tubes, creating a body temperature regulating layer. This construction allows heat to escape through the face fabric for optimal comfort.

When worn under a shell, the negative space between the insulation tubes traps additional heat, providing added thermal resistance without increased weight.

Enhanced protection in extreme environments

Our innovative 50-50 construction delivers optimal heat and moisture management.

Thanks to a breathable 50/50 baffle construction that allows heat and moisture to escape, it's incredibly lightweight and breathable.

The design ensures enhanced temperature regulation during aerobic activity in extreme conditions and allows heat and moisture to escape on hot and sweaty climbs.
