Climashield insulation in new Massif uniform

02/10/2012
Oregon-based flame-resistant and performance outdoor apparel brand Massif has announced that it will use Climashield’s Combat continuous filament insulation technology for its new Protective Combat Uniform (PCU) Level 7 for use in military clothing applications.

Climashield said its insulation would help streamline the design for the new uniforms, shedding weight without losing warmth, even when stretched, packed or washed multiple times.


“The challenge was to increase functionality and reduce bulk while maintaining thermal efficiency in the process,” said Sarah Sameh, president and chief operating officer at Massif.  “Climashield met our needs and we are grateful to have their brand and experience on board for these PCU garments.”

An integrated system made up of seven layers, the PCU can be used in different combinations. Production begins this autumn.
