What is the purpose of developing synthetic insulation in the presence of excellent natural materials? What provides them with heat-shielding properties? To choose the right clothes with suitable insulation, you need to know their main types and features.

Synthetic insulation for clothing is a wide class of modern materials with heat-saving characteristics due to a special texture.

Initially, these air-filled nonwovens appeared in the 70s of the last century as a cheaper alternative to natural options, but with the development of the polymer industry, they increasingly turn out to be more perfect in use and technological in processing.

It was largely forgotten and was not used in outdoor for a long time, but now it is returning in a new quality and at a different technological level. For example, merino wool is used in the manufacture of thermal underwear, socks, medium warming and even outer layers of clothing (in development, or wool is one of the components of composite materials). Thus, against the background of the general distribution of synthetic insulation, in particular cases, just the opposite processes can be observed.

Why, after all, in the bulk of clothing, natural insulation is replaced by synthetic? The down remains, but for all its merits, it is an allergenic material. It is capricious in production and care - for its "keeping" in clothes, it is required to use special fluffy fabrics that prevent fiber migration, that is, they simply do not allow fluff to come out of clothes. When wet, the down loses its heat-shielding properties and dries for a very long time. And with frequent washing and active wear, it abrades into dust and falls off.

The coat is hypoallergenic, but it can irritate the skin. It is subject to wear, shrinkage and is also afraid of water. Warming with wool and fur significantly weighs the clothes down, so this option is practically not used in clothes for outdoor types where light weight and volume play a vital role, for example, in mountaineering equipment.

Getting wet negates the heat-saving functions of almost any insulation. But air-filled synthetics in high humidity conditions work better than fluff or wool, having a very low hygroscopicity and performing their functions even when wet.

The main differences between natural and synthetic products can be summarized in the table:

The main differences between natural and synthetic insulation

Characteristic	Natural insulation
Moisture absorption (hygroscopicity)	Absorbs moisture	Does not absorb moisture
Vapor permeability	High	Depends on type and brand
Hypoallergenic	May cause allergies	Does not cause allergies
The ability to accumulate static electricity	The down is not electrified. Wool is electrified	Electrified
Insect resistant	Low	High
Resistant to bacterial contamination	High	Low (requires treatment with silver salts)

Types of synthetic insulation

To compete successfully with natural materials, synthetic novelties must have:

low thermal conductivity of the fiber material;

light weight;

high porosity;

hypoallergenic;

hygroscopicity close to zero;

good breathability;

resistance to microorganisms;

high elasticity and mechanical strength.

Polyester fibers differ in density, thickness, texture, type of twisting, which is why the choice of modern insulation is so diverse. Air-filled canvases are available in different thicknesses and densities for different weather conditions.

To improve wear resistance, a layer of insulation can be placed between thin non-woven fabrics - spunbond or non-woven.

Any changes, both in the design of the insulation layer in order to strengthen it, and in the form of twisting the fiber, its length, allow manufacturers to patent more and more new brands that slightly differ from each other in their consumer parameters.

Consider the most famous types of synthetic insulation.

Sintepon

The synthetic winterizer is still the most common material for warming clothes. It is based on polyester fibers held together in various ways:

glue- connects fibers with special glue;

thermal- fuses fibers by exposure to high temperatures;

needle-punched- entangles fibers with penetrating needles.

However, adhesive technology is gradually becoming a thing of the past, because the introduction of chemicals degrades environmental friendliness and adds weight. In addition, the glue is easily subject to thermal degradation during washing and dry cleaning, so such products are short-lived.

Needle-punched synthetic winterizer is the densest and most durable among its fellows. And the hot-melt option is not only the most environmentally friendly, but also allows us to offer consumers the lightest and most effective insulation.

But this insulation is heavy in comparison with more modern developments, it crumples after numerous washes, does not hold its shape well and has low vapor permeability.

The widespread use of padding polyester is due to its versatility and satisfactory consumer qualities, such as low hygroscopicity and easy maintenance. At the same time, it is cheap and its production has long been mastered by industry.

The temperature threshold for using a synthetic winterizer is -10 ° C, and in order to increase its heat-shielding properties, it is necessary to increase the thickness and weight. Most often, the sewing padding polyester has a density of 60 to 300 g / m2 and is used for demi-season clothing.

Holofiber

The Hollofiber trademark belongs to the only manufacturer - the Moscow plant Termopol, and recently it celebrated its tenth anniversary. A modification of the Hollofiber SOFT material is used to insulate clothing.

This is an improved type of padding polyester, characterized by environmental friendliness, increased elasticity and low weight. Fast shape recovery and the absence of permanent deformations are provided by a special structure of hollow fibers (hollow + fiber) in the form of multidirectional microsprings that move freely when pressed and dissipate compression energy. Lightweight fibers create additional porosity by increasing the volume of air per unit of material, thereby reducing thermal conductivity.

This insulation with zero hygroscopicity and reliably protects at temperatures down to -25 ° C. The thermal conductivity of Holofiber is almost twice as low as that of padding polyester.

For clothing, a non-woven fabric with a density of 60-350 g / m2 is used, in which the twisted fibers are pressed and bonded with a hot melt method, and the surface is processed between the calender rolls to impart smoothness and strength. This treatment prevents the migration of fibers from the insulation layer and makes the use of additional insulating coatings unnecessary.

The thermal conductivity of the insulation is related to its density, and when choosing clothes, this must be taken into account first of all. At the same time, comparing heaters of different brands in terms of density will be incorrect, because the thermal conductivity of, say, synthetic winterizer and Holofiber at the same density is different.

Thinsulate

Thinsulate is an innovative material similar to natural down in terms of thermal preservation, but at the same time devoid of its drawbacks. It keeps its shape well, is hypoallergenic and absolutely sterile. It is also called artificial swan down. As birds lubricate their feathers with a special substance to protect them from getting wet, this type of fiber is covered with silicone for the same purpose. This not only provides one hundred percent protection from moisture, but also easy slipping of the fibers when deformed.

Its feature is excellent vapor permeability, so the material protects against hypothermia even at a temperature of -30 ° C with active movement. It copes well with, effectively removing excess heat.

It is the thinnest of modern heaters with similar thermal insulation properties. It does not absorb foreign odors, does not shrink and dries quickly after washing, completely restoring its shape.

For surface hardening and better fixing when sewing clothes, some modifications of Thinsulate are produced with one- and two-sided cellulose fiber interlining. The density of Thinsulate is from 100 to 230 g / m2, and today it is the lightest and most effective synthetic insulation.

Initially, the material was developed by 3M by order of NASA for astronauts back in the 70s. Its production from the thinnest, coiled, highly siliconized fiber up to 10 microns thick is still expensive, so this material is mainly used for the production of professional outdoor clothing for extreme sports enthusiasts and polar explorers.

Fibertek

Fibertek is a Belarusian brand of nonwoven fabric made of hollow polyester fibers. Silicone treatment of highly crimped short fibers allows them to easily slide relative to each other, without deforming, without caking, and quickly recovering their shape. The density of 200-400 g / m2 provides an optimal ratio of air capsules to fiber, therefore the material has excellent heat-shielding properties.

Often the fabric is reinforced on both sides with spunbond - a thin non-woven polypropylene fabric, which gives additional strength to this peculiar sandwich. Fibertek is an environmentally friendly, breathable material that perfectly protects against 40-degree frost, however, in this case, the thickness of the insulation layer will be greater than that of Thinsulate. The technology does not provide for the use of adhesives, so it is absolutely hypoallergenic.

Compared to synthetic winterizer, Fibertek is lighter, more form-stable, and in comparison with Holofiber it is more durable, since thermal bonding of fibers is not used in its manufacture. After deformation, the insulation restores its shape by 100%, and even after three washes, its shrinkage does not exceed 3%. It is used mainly for special clothing, but its price is lower than that of Thinsulate.

Isosoft

Synthetic insulation under the Belgian trademark Isosoft is produced by Libeltex from ultra-thin fibers that form a dense structure. A double-sided spunbond coating is additionally applied to the surface, which prevents fiber displacement and deformation during operation. This contributes to good combinability with various covering and lining tissues.

This plastic, hypoallergenic material reliably warms at temperatures down to -20 ° C, is easy to wash and dries quickly. The most demanded density for warming clothes is 200-300 g / m2. One layer of isosoft, in terms of its heat-saving parameters, replaces four layers of traditional padding polyester.

PrimaLoft

Albany International's innovative development of synthetic insulation under the PrimaLoft ® trademark was originally intended for the American army. The manufacturing technology is the manufacturer's know-how, but it is known that high consumer characteristics were achieved due to the combination of long ultra-thin polyester fibers with a special water-repellent coating and fibers of variable cross-section.

Imitation of natural fluff allows you to create a highly porous structure, strong and elastic, quickly restores volume and dries faster than a natural prototype.

Primaloft material is just as light, but practically does not absorb water. Therefore, the military development very quickly found application in outdoor clothing, as well as in the outfit of fishermen, hunters, making their stay in extreme conditions as comfortable as possible.

Clothes with Primaloft remain dry at any humidity of the ambient air, it effectively removes excess heat and moisture from the body during active movement.

For clothing insulation, the varieties PrimaLoft ® Sport, PrimaLoft ® One and PrimaLoft ® Infinity are used. They differ in the percentage of fibers of different thicknesses and, accordingly, in specific gravity, caking and wear resistance. The lightest and warmest PrimaLoft ® One is considered, it is most often used in clothing for outdoor activities, and the best keeps shape and is characterized by increased wear resistance PrimaLoft ® Sport. Therefore, as a rule, this particular variety is used in the manufacture of clothing for extreme conditions, shoes and sports equipment.

In 2014, together with The North Face®, PrimaLoft® launched the new Thermoball® insulation. Its peculiarity lies in the structure of fibers that imitate the texture of fluffs. The rounded balls of PrimaLoft® Thermoball® synthetic fiber retain heat as well as natural down, but are much more moisture resistant and dry quickly.

In addition to synthetic insulation, PrimaLoft ® has developed and began to produce hybrid insulation of the PrimaLoft ® Gold Insulation Down Blend and PrimaLoft ® Silver Insulation Down Blend series. In the "gold" line, ultra-thin Primaloft fiber is mixed with natural goose down in a 30/70 ratio; and in "silver" - 40/60. In hybrid insulation, the beneficial properties of natural and synthetic fibers are combined in such a way that the final result allows you to achieve the maximum efficiency of the thermal insulation of the material. In addition, hybrid insulation is cheaper than down insulation.

Very often Primaloft is compared to Thinsulate, and controversy continues among lovers of high-quality outdoor clothing. Objective tests have not yet been carried out, but one thing is known for sure - both materials retain heat equally well and surpass natural insulation in performance parameters.

Mixed heaters

Despite the obvious shortcomings of the outdated padding polyester, manufacturers are striving to improve its thermal insulation properties and environmental friendliness by adding up to 70% of natural fibers of camel and sheep wool to the thermally bonded fabric. This is how Shersticron is obtained, the wind protection of which is three times higher than that of padding polyester, with excellent vapor permeability and low moisture absorption. This material is lighter than pure wool, but has similar thermal insulation properties.

In order to improve environmental friendliness, polyester fibers are sometimes combined with cotton. These materials include the little-known Italian insulation Valtherm on the Russian market. It is a flexible, breathable and warm material with a special honeycomb structure, used in children's and sportswear.

Care rules

Caring for synthetic insulation is almost the same for all brands and is not difficult.

Basic Rules:

1. exclude chlorine-containing detergents;
2. washing temperature 30-40 ° C;
3. dry in an upright, straightened state in the air.

Unlike natural materials, synthetic counterparts dry quickly, do not shrink and do not go astray.

Summary

Synthetic heaters are more convenient and practical than natural ones, but they are still inferior to them in terms of heat saving efficiency.

The basis for the production of synthetic insulation is polyester fibers.

The heat-shielding properties of the insulating layer are provided by the porous structure, and the more pores per unit area, the more effective the material.

Types of synthetic insulation differ in thickness and density, as well as crimp and additional surface treatment of polyester fiber.

• Other materials can be applied to the surface of non-woven fabrics for additional strength.

Synthetic insulation PrimaLoft © was developed by Albany International for the US Army as a quality replacement for down for workwear and sleeping bags. To date, PrimaLoft insulation has reliably conquered the market not only for army clothing, but also for the outdoor market.

First of all, PrimaLoft © insulation is lightweight and durable, and also has excellent thermal insulation properties. In addition, PrimaLoft has excellent air permeability, and its hygienic properties are far superior to those of ordinary goose down. These excellent results are due to the thermal properties of the new PrimaLoft microfibers, whose structure was copied from goose down microfibers. Thus, the thermal resistance of goose down is 2.18, and for PrimaLoft insulation - 2.15, which indicates the better thermal insulation of synthetic insulation compared to down. So far, none of the widely used synthetic insulation has come close to such indicators.

Insulation PrimaLoft is excellent as a filler for outerwear or sleeping bags, as it is lightweight and has a volume comparable to that of down. Compared to goose down, PrimaLoft insulation is water-repellent and hypoallergenic. Researchers at Albany International have also achieved excellent breathability through microscopic air spacers. On the surface of PrimaLoft microfibers, due to their very small size, air molecules accumulate, which provide high thermal insulation properties of the insulation with a relatively thin insulating layer. Thanks to these large-diameter hollow fibers, the so-called "Loft" is preserved during prolonged use, washing, pressing and drying.

In the outdoor industry, several types of PrimaLoft insulation are used:

- PrimaLoft © One

- PrimaLoft® Sport

- PrimaLoft Eco

- PrimaLoft Eco Footwear

- PrimaLoft Infinity

- PrimaLoft Yarn

Instructions for caring for products with PrimaLoft © insulation:

Follow these care instructions for garments made with PrimaLoft insulation. Machine wash and cold rinse on delicate cycle. Tumble dry in the washing machine at medium temperature on a gentle spin cycle. Dry cleaning, bleaching, ironing or steaming is prohibited.

Is a synthetic material with high thermal insulation properties. When creating it Albany Interional very scrupulously studied the structure of goose down and put it into the base of the material. The fibers of this insulation are very thin and look like goose down more than the fibers of any other synthetic material. It is this similarity that gives it the thermal properties of down. The thermal resistance coefficient for goose down is 2.18, and for -2.15. This is a very high indicator, because other synthetic fibers do not even come close to this value.

The filler has a long-fiber structure, thanks to which it recovers its volume better and faster than similar materials. Even after a huge number of washes and dryers, the material does not deform. The fibers are endowed with water-repellent properties that help any liquid to drain or evaporate. This ensures that PrimaLoft insulation products are always dry.

Laboratory studies have shown that PrimaLoft has exactly the same softness as goose down, and it is much softer than similar thermal insulation materials. Thanks to this characteristic of the material, all products made from it take the necessary shape: they sit on the figure, and the blanket exclusively fits the body of a sleeping person.

Another great advantage of this material is that it breathes and allows moisture to evaporate. Its air spaces are very small for moisture to penetrate, but large in order to allow moisture formed inside to evaporate. A small volume of PrimaLoft is sufficient to keep a person warm.

It can be compressed strongly, and this will not affect the quality and structure of the material in any way. In a short period of time, the material completely returns to its original volume. According to the above parameters, it surpasses all its synthetic and natural counterparts. Of all the world famous insulation materials, only PrimaLoft has the ability not to retain moisture in itself due to the silicone processing of the fibers. Such insulation, in comparison with similar materials, absorbs 3 times less moisture, it is 14% warmer in a dry state and 24% in a wet state. Due to its long-fiber structure, similar to fluff, the filler recovers its volume better than other materials, even after many washes and dryings. The water-repellent properties of microfibers allow any liquid to drip or evaporate, which allows the user of ® products to always be dry and warm.

Scientific tests have shown that "®" has the same softness as fluff, and much softer than other synthetic fibers. Due to the softness of this fiber clothes, made of it, fits perfectly to the figure, and the blanket or fits the body of the sleeping person. Taste the sample and you will feel how great He is! This remarkable material not only repels water and keeps bulk when wet, it breathes, allowing moisture to evaporate. Its microscopic air layers are too small for moisture to penetrate, but large enough to release moisture evaporation from the inside. A small volume of "®" is quite enough for human heat accumulation. It can be strongly compressed, after which this material fully returns to its original volume. In these parameters, it surpasses both synthetic and natural materials.

Of the world brands - heaters, only ® has the property of not retaining moisture due to the silicone treatment of the fibers. As the table shows, the greater the number of fibers, the more the insulation absorbs moisture:

PrimaLoft PL1-75%
PrimaLoft Sport-400%
Polarguard 3D-500%
Thinsulate LiteLoft-995%
MicroLoft (DuPont) -1730

Other well-known synthetic materials do not even come close to such indicators. Due to its long-fiber structure, similar to fluff, the filler recovers its volume better than other materials, even after many washes and dryings. The water-repellent properties of microfibers allow any liquid to drip off or evaporate, allowing the user of Primaloft® products to stay dry and warm at all times.

Taste the sample and you will feel how great He is! This remarkable material not only repels water and keeps bulk when wet, it breathes, allowing moisture to evaporate. Its microscopic air layers are too small for moisture to penetrate, but large enough to release moisture evaporation from the inside. A small volume of Primaloft® is sufficient for human heat storage. It can be strongly compressed, after which this material fully returns to its original volume. In these parameters, it surpasses both synthetic and natural materials.
The human body has a normal temperature of 36.6 degrees Celsius, but is often found in places that make it noticeably colder! PrimaLoft ® keeps your body warm to keep you warm and comfortable even in extreme cold.

First of all, PrimaLoft © insulation is lightweight and durable, and also has excellent thermal insulation properties.

• Primaloft® Thermoball ™

The latest synthetic insulation from , which very accurately copies the structure of the fluff. Outwardly, the novelty resembles a rolled cotton ball, which served as the name - Thermoball ... Until this development, all synthetic insulation was a mixture of hollow fibers that did not resemble fluff outwardly and only partially repeating its properties. Insulation as a whole repeats in properties One, but 15% warmer per unit weight, corresponding to fluff with an indicator Fill power 600. This means the ability of fluff to restore its volume after compression and to retain an equivalent amount of air between the fibers, which serves as a heat insulator. As with One, the developers have made a special emphasis on the preservation of heat-insulating properties Thermoball when wet, as confirmed by numerous tests in the field.

• Primaloft® Down Blend

Despite the obvious successes in the field of improving synthetic insulation, they do not want to give up the use of down, even in Inc... However, all experts are well aware of its main disadvantages - low thermal insulation when wet and slow drying, to which the aforementioned disadvantage is added - a high price for the manufacturer, and, as a result, for the end consumer. Creation Primaloft Down Blend was intended to overcome these shortcomings.

The essence of the technology comes down to mixing natural fluff and artificial fibers Primaloft Ultra-Fine, close to it in the property to restore its volume after compression and to hold the maximum amount of air between the fibers. In addition to this fluff treated with a water-repellent compound. These measures made it possible to reduce the cost of hybrid insulation without loss of quality, ensure acceptable thermal insulation properties of the wet mixture, and also increase the speed of its drying in comparison with ordinary fluff by 4 times!

® Performance Down is available in two versions:

– Gold Insulations Down Blend - Goose down 70% (fluff feather 90/10) - synthetic fibers 30%. 1.23 ClO dry versus 1.18 CLO wet.
– PrimaLoft Silver Insulations Down Blend- Duck fluff 60% (fluff feather 85/15) - synthetic fibers 40%. 1.14 ClO dry versus 1.07 CLO wet.
Thus, the new combined insulation corresponds in its thermal insulation properties to high-quality down with an index of FP 750 and FP 600, respectively. At the same time, thanks to the inclusion of synthetics and moisture-repellent impregnation of the down, it continues to work even in a wet state with practically no loss.

Ceramic Technology

The collaboration between the companies and Goldwin has resulted in a new generation of insulation technologies. The achievement of the development was the combination of microfibers with kerma fibers, which together create a more functional insulation. The new product is called Kodenshi. Goldwin introduces new material in Japan for the first time in the fall 2005 as one of 12 of its licensed products. clothing and with the new insulation had good sales figures.

Characteristics:

• high thermal inertness
• nano-ceramic particles in fiber
• improved physiological comfort
• improved softness

What is Kodenshi?

Kodenshi are ceramic fibers. Specially developed ceramic particles incorporated into the structure of the filaments effectively absorb infrared radiation from the body and reflect back more heat. Infrared radiation excites the body's water molecules. Excited water molecules collide with each other and generate heat that warms you from the inside.

It is believed that the human body has a perfectly balanced temperature. Living in today's busy world, most of us do not pay enough attention to ourselves and our body, as we should. This leads to stress, disturbed eating rhythm, lack of physical activity, etc. These “foods” of daily life lead to imbalances

body temperature. It is believed that when the body temperature is imbalanced properly it results in the body “freezing”. Kodenshi helps burn your body from the inside out, allowing you to stay warm and comfortable.

Kodenshi creates optimal warmth for winter sports. It is a highly efficient thermal insulation material that absorbs the heat generated by the body and effectively retains this heat at a level that is comfortable for the human body. This comfortable warmth is ideal for ski wear, mid-layers and sports underwear.

Used 40, 60 and 100 gr.

Kodenshi pro down

High-tech fluff combining the best qualities of natural fluff and KODENSHI fibers, which provide thermal insulation properties using infrared rays.

900FP Down

Natural with the best recovery rates. 550FP is usually considered high quality, 700-800FP is also, but as they say, there can always be something better.

A bit of theory

The amount of heat energy produced by a person depends on the individual characteristics of a person, well-being, and even on how well he ate and slept. The role of insulated clothing is to conserve this very energy.

Thermal insulation- the process of reducing heat transfer between the body and the environment. It is not for nothing that in English, heaters are always defined by the word Insulation - insulation.

The lowest thermal conductivity is possessed by a vacuum environment, and the most affordable heat insulator with low thermal conductivity is dry air. Precisely dry, since moisture is a good conductor. The more air molecules the insulation holds in one cubic centimeter, the better its thermal insulation properties.

The air is always in motion - the warm one tends to go up, the cold one goes down, this factor must also be taken into account when developing insulated clothing.

Thus, the main task of clothing insulation is to keep the air warmed by our body inside, and not to let the cold outside.

Important values ​​that allow you to describe the quality of the insulation:

R-value- the value of the thermal resistance of the insulation layer. Indicated in CLO. The higher the R-value, the better the thermal insulation properties of the material.

Fill power(F.P.)- the most common indicator of the quality of insulation (as a rule, natural fluff). This characteristic shows the ability of the insulation to recover after compression. The higher the FP value, the warmer the product with the same weight of down. Some companies operating in the European and American markets sometimes double the FP-750 F.P. Euro, 850 F.P. USA. This is due to the fact that the quality standards in these areas are somewhat different. By the way, all synthetic analogs have characteristics similar to FP600 down.
One of the most important characteristics of the insulation is thermal resistance value per unit weight of insulation... It depends on this indicator how heavy the insulated jacket for specific temperature conditions.
Durability- an essential characteristic, especially considering the considerable price tag for high-quality insulated clothing. For example, cheap insulation materials can fall off over time, caking, changing their density, which leads to a decrease in thermal insulation properties. Perhaps someone noticed that after washing, some insulated products retained heat an order of magnitude weaker.
Hydrophobicity(describes the interaction of the material with water). As a rule, synthetic insulation materials are not hygroscopic, i.e. do not retain moisture. What can not be said about fluff. For insulation to be as versatile and effective as possible, it must keep warm in humid conditions.
Compression ability... One of the most important tasks of outdoor collectors backpack, pick up equipment as lightweight and compact as possible. The most important advantage of down products is their minimal volume when folded. Modern synthetic heaters, perhaps, are inferior to down in the degree of compression, but they are definitely close to it. Often vest or the jacket can be folded into your own pocket.

Elasticity... With regard to insulation, this is the ability to restore the original structure, in fact, volume. The structure of synthetic fibers often recovers faster than fluff... This is partly why down jackets often make inserts with synthetic insulation in the shoulder area and on the sides. jackets where the pressure is greatest.

Since and shoes will save your heat in different ways, depending on how much of this heat your body emits, then formulate purchase recommendations, it is precisely based on the degree of a person's supposed activity on the street in winter.

High activity

If you use clothes or shoes at temperatures up to -10-15 degrees Celsius, then when buying outerwear, you can limit yourself to insulation densities up to 100 grams. For shoes - a 200 gram seal will be quite comfortable.

At temperatures of -20-30 degrees Celsius, it is better to choose clothes with insulation with a density of 150-200 grams, with insulation up to 400 grams. You can, of course, buy shoes and with a denser insulation, but there is a high probability that with high physical activity in such shoes it will be simply hot. If you just want to have a "heat reserve" just in case, then it is better to buy shoes albeit with a denser insulation, but always using membrane fabrics that can remove excess heat.

Average activity

Up to -15 is quite suitable with 150-200 grams of insulation, perhaps even the range of 100-150 grams will be enough, but everything will depend on other clothes under the jacket. Shoes should be chosen in the range of insulation density - 200-400 grams.

From -15 degrees and below, for outerwear, insulation from 200 grams will already be advisable. If the activity is not related to sports and the size of outerwear is not fundamental, then in this case it is possible that even warmer clothes will turn out to be down jacket... As for footwear, here you should choose models with a heater with a density higher than 400 grams, but, probably, no more than 1000 grams, because. otherwise your feet will just sweat.

Low activity

Up to temperatures of -5-10 degrees, clothes with a heater of 200 grams may well be enough. At lower temperatures, it is still better to buy clothes with natural insulation ( fluff or a down / feather mixture).

As for shoes, in this case, up to -10-15 degrees is quite suitable or boots with insulation with a density of 600-1000 grams, at lower temperatures, you can already choose models with an insulation density of 1000+ grams.

Terminology used in English-language sources

As in any industry, there are a number of abbreviations and concepts in thermal insulation technology.
Loft is the thickness of the insulating layer.
Clo is a measure of warmth.
Thermalweight efficiency is the ratio of a measure of warmth to weight.
Compressibility - the degree of compression of the material under pressure.
Fiber blend - insulation composition. A mixture of fibers.

With the onset of autumn, and therefore cold weather, everyone, one way or another, thinks about buying warm clothes or shoes. Well, maybe, of course, there are some people who took care of this in advance. But according to the primordial Russian tradition - until the thunder breaks out, many are dragging this issue to the last. And when it comes to choosing and buying the desired item of clothing or footwear, questions arise: What to buy, What are the modern materials that can protect from the cold. On the one hand, there are proven

Since clothes and shoes will save your heat in different ways, depending on how much of this heat your body emits, then it is worth formulating purchase recommendations based on the degree of a person's expected activity on the street in winter.

A dream, appearing in its material embodiment, often disappoints or turns out to be not so cloudless. In our case, this will not happen. Low-rise trousers gently warm, and at the same time do not press with their weight (48 solution weighs only 247 g) and do not constrain movement. Depending on the weather or the intensity of your movement, you can wear them as outer pants, wear them in the evening in a bivouac, or wear them under a windscreen. Just a simple listing of the materials from which the trousers are made sounds, for the initiated, like music. TORAY - EVOLUTION 20, 44 * 22 DTEX NYLON, micro rip-stop Diamond without a film layer - very lightweight, durable, keeps the wind and “breathes” during active movement, and its moisture-proof impregnation protects against splashes and dry snow. Long-fiber Primaloft ® Silver, slightly yielding to down in terms of thermal characteristics, better than most insulation materials, returns its volume after repeated washing and drying. In addition, it is water-repellent and breathable, dries quickly and warms even when wet.

REVIEWS: Review from Survival Panda Review on the site "Russel"

Versatile, very lightweight and warm jacket. It is mainly intended for outdoor activities in winter, late autumn and early spring, but it will be just as comfortable in the city. The jacket can also be used as an insulating layer. The site presents a version of the "Barrier" jacket without a hood. Anatomical fit One-piece underarm inserts provide additional freedom of movement Tight-fitting hood with elasticated band Protective strip under the central zipper with chin protection from chafing Sleeves with elastic band Cinch at the bottom of the jacket Pockets: one chest pocket and two side pockets one inner zip pocket Material: Top: 100 % DWR-impregnated nylon Lining: 100% nylon Insulation: Primaloft® Silver 1 × 100 g / m2 Product weight: 40-42 / 158-164-410 g 48-50 / 170-176-435 g 52-54 / 182 -188-465 g Also on the site are models of trousers with Primaloft ® insulation Precaution: When using a jacket as the main outerwear, avoid excessive mechanical stress and use equipment with caution (backpack straps, etc.) SIZE: Download You can love winter and be philosophical about the vagaries of the weather. The hardest thing is to come to terms with the bulky, heavy clothes that replace the summer emancipation. The "Barrier" jacket helps to avoid the autumn depression. This lightweight jacket provides warmth as naturally as animal skins. Thanks to its Primaloft® Silver insulation, a durable, elastic, water-repellent and windproof upper (100% DWR-impregnated nylon) and a hood, it is ideal as an outerwear. One coat of Primaloft® Silver (100 g / m2) is enough to feel comfortable outdoors in the off-season. When the temperature drops, the jacket can be worn with a vest or windscreen, which greatly expands the range of its use. Long-fiber Primaloft® Silver, slightly yielding to down in terms of thermal characteristics, better than most insulation materials, returns its volume after repeated washing and drying. In addition, it is water-repellent and breathable, dries quickly and warms even when wet. All these qualities make it possible to use clothes with this insulation where the fluff does not work, that is, in places with high humidity. The calendered nylon lining is very soft and pleasant to the touch, windproof and breathable. Anatomical cut and one-piece armpit inserts increase freedom of movement and allow the jacket to fit more tightly to the figure, which cannot but please people who prefer an active lifestyle. Everything is logical, streamlined and convenient. The absence of protruding parts, elastic tape on the sleeves instead of thick cuffs, protection of the chin from the zipper make using the jacket as an inner insulating layer pleasant and not burdensome. At the same time, a soft-fitting hood with elastic edging, roomy side pockets, comfortable zippers, and non-through seams are essential elements of an outer jacket.

REVIEWS: Review on the site "Russel"

Originally developed for the US Army, PrimaLoft insulation is used by many brands today. The company offers several variations of thermal insulation, from the maximum, designed for harsh conditions, to lightweight - for the city. The North Face was one of the first to notice Primaloft Black technology. It is a waterproof synthetic alternative to down filling. It is light enough for casual wear, jackets and boots. Insulation is also often used by the Helly Hansen brand.

Features of Primaloft Black

Primaloft has been producing synthetic microfiber insulation since the 1980s. The insulation is designed to mimic all the properties of down, but with less weight, less volume, and not losing its properties when wet. The fibers do not hold water, so the wearer of such equipment stays dry and warm regardless of the weather. The essence of the technology is to create many air pockets that actually trap and retain body heat.

Primaloft has three main types of insulation: Gold, Silver and Black. And if the first and second are more related to serious equipment for harsh conditions, then the latter is applicable in everyday life.

Primaloft Black is most suitable for everyday wear. It has a CLO rating of 0.65. It is a unit of measure for the thermal insulation properties of a product. For example, a 550 down fill will have a rating of 0.7. That is, a jacket with Primaloft Black is equivalent to a warm down jacket.

There are three types of Black insulation. They are all breathable, moisture resistant and provide warmth without extra bulk.

PrimaLoft Black Insulation Eco- lining made from 60% recycled material. It is obtained by recycling plastic bottles, bags and other raw materials.

PrimaLoft Black Down Blend consists of 50% synthetic fibers and 50% down. Thanks to this, the loss of heat-insulating properties when wet is minimized, but the jacket turns out to be more voluminous due to the down.

PrimaLoft Black Insulation Hi-Loft with fibers that provide high insulation, it feels like a down fill, but it is not. The insulation is more compact and softer, while all key properties, such as warmth when wet, are fully preserved.

For the new winter season, the company announced PrimaLoft® Black Insulation ThermoPlume. It is made using small, silky bundles of fibers that are tied together. This filling is suitable as an intermediate layer for mountaineering equipment, as well as for warm city jackets.

Primaloft Black Clothing

Known for their warm and reliable collections, The North Face uses synthetic fillers quite often. Their jackets are lightweight yet warm in cold and wet weather. When choosing outerwear, you should pay attention to the specified characteristics. The North Face Primaloft Black uses predominantly 60, 80 and 100 grams. Of course, the more popular “silver” insulation is more common, as it is equally good for outdoor activities and the city. It is housed in the iconic Back To Berkeley boots and a variety of jackets. However, Primaloft Black is even lighter and is used in demi-season clothing during the period when winter turns into spring or warm autumn turns into frost.

The filler for clothing and equipment Primaloft meets the high requirements of the consumer, because it is guaranteed to protect from the cold and does not allow you to experience discomfort due to the peculiarities of the structure. The material is used to insulate jackets, suits, overalls for autumn and winter, and is also used in the production of blankets.

Description

When developing fibers for Primaloft insulation, advanced technologies were used, which made it possible to bring the characteristics of the filler closer to those of natural fluff. The fibers of the material are water-resistant, therefore Primaloft insulation is optimal for autumn clothes that do not swell in light rain and sleet.

During processing, the fibers are intertwined, and a light, but reliably protecting material from dampness and cold is formed. Compared to its counterparts, Primaloft is 14-15% warmer with dry fibers and 24-25% more reliably protects against cold when wet, while the water absorption of the filler is 300% less in comparison with competitors on the insulation market.

If you trust the meager testing figures, then the Primaloft filler has a KTS of 2.15, and the standard among heaters, goose down, is 2.18. This is the smallest possible difference, and no other synthetic materials for warming clothes show such figures.

Advantages

The advantages of this brand of insulation over competitors are obvious, here are the main ones:

1. Restores volume quickly due to its long-fiber structure,
2. Does not deform when wearing outerwear,
3. Possesses increased water-repellent qualities,
4. Differs in high heat-shielding properties,
5. Meets environmental standards,
6. Allows air to pass through.

Clothes with Primaloft insulation perfectly "fit" to the figure and do not change shape during wearing, and blankets with filling do not get confused and fit the human body well. A winter jacket with Primaloft insulation will reliably protect from the vagaries of winter and will not turn into a shapeless bag after several months of wearing, and the blanket will retain body heat and will not create discomfort that can cause insomnia.

Compliance with environmental standards allows you to use the filler for insulating children's clothing, as well as outerwear and blankets for people with allergies. Primaloft blankets, jackets and suits literally breathe, while maintaining high thermal insulation properties.

The softness of the insulation corresponds to the softness of goose down and surpasses other synthetic counterparts by 20-50%. If the material is compressed, then it will 100% recover its shape in a few minutes. This is achieved due to the elasticity of the fibers and the peculiarities of the structure of their weave. The silicone treatment of the fiber does not allow the material to retain moisture, which means that a beneficial environment for the growth of bacteria is not created in the filler. Compared to the filler manufactured under the Thinsulate LiteLoft brand, Primaloft PL1 retains 1200-1300% less moisture.

Classification

Insulation Primaloft is available in the following types:

1. Sport,
2. Infinity,
3. Yarn.

The most common grade is One, in which the fibers are water-resistant. This type of filler is used for all types of outerwear, filling blankets, sleeping bags, gloves and even insulating shoes. The Sport brand is used for tracksuits (professional sports, outdoor activities). The fibers have a variable diameter, so the insulation is distinguished by a long service life and an increased level of thermal protection.

Eco stands for stringent environmental standards, and Yarn is the softest synthetic garment filler, with a minimum of fiber to provide softness.

Care

The care requirements for sleeping bags, suits, and other Primaloft-filled clothing are standard for synthetic insulation. For machine wash, choose a delicate mode at temperatures up to 40 degrees. Spinning is possible only at the minimum drum speed, steaming and dry cleaning are prohibited.

It is possible to iron products with insulation, but with minimal heating of the iron and without direct contact with the filler (through the upper fabric).
