DOES PRIMALOFT’S THERMOPLUME FILL SUCCESSFULLY BRIDGE THE PERFORMANCE
The Montane Icarus for men and Phoenix for women are the first jackets to use PrimaLoft’s innovative insulation. Packed into microbaffles visible as horizontal lines of stitching across the garments, the insulation consists of individual, down-like plumes of synthetic material which allows it to be blown into the baffles in the same way that a down jacket is constructed. It’s these individual clusters of material that make down and ThermoPlume far more efficient at trapping warm air (there’s more space around each fibre) than the matted material that’s conventionally used for synthetic insulation.
