Special Features

Material Details

Thermal suede is lightweight polyester with a sueded finish which uses a combination of yarns with different thicknesses. Microfibre yarns (less than 1 decitex) go on the outside and Macrofibre (3 decitex) go on the inside. The Macro fibre yarns are raised to produce a short pile, similar in feel to Suede. The construction exploits a basic physical property - that water will always move from a low to high surface area or from the Macro to Micro filament yarns, thus moving water from the body towards the outside of the bag.

What it is: Range of Ripstop Fabrics with Superior Water Repellency.How it works: Closely constructed fabric with a ripstop construction. Tough when it matters but soft to the touch. Specially treated to maximise water repellency.

• Ripstop Weave
• Lightweight
• Tough
• Highly Breathable (will transmit 12 litres of moisture per m² per 24 hours)
• Wicking
• Soft to touch
• Wind proof to the industry standard of 3 cubic feet per minute (this keeps strong winds out or when used as a lining warm air and loft in).
• Water Repellent a British Standard Spray Rating of 4 Minimum (water repellency can be maintained by a cool tumble dry after washing and periodic retreatment with suitable after care products such as Nikwax or Grangers).
• Completely manufactured within Europe (Extruded, Woven and Dyed & Finished).Where it is used: As an outer fabric to sleeping bags to give a good balance between toughness and functionality.

As part of our continuing development process to keep our synthetic insulation at the leading edge we are pleased to introduce the next generation in sleeping bag technology. Softie premier uses the same basic principles as traditional Softie but improvements in extrusion technology and binding resins result in a finer, softer and more durable insulation.

Reflectatherm layer - "Space Age technology in a down to earth application."

This metallised fabric is designed to reflect heat and retain warmth. A highly breathable material, which adds little to the weight or pack size of the product and provides at least 15% additional warmth whilst being undetectable by touch in the sleeping bag or garment.
