European manufacturers partner with Climashield

06/02/2013
US-based insulation provider Climashield is increasing its footprint in Europe and has been selected by Czech outdoor brands Direct Alpine and Tilak, and Polish military supplier Helikon-Tex for their latest ranges.

Climashield’s continuous filament insulation is very resilient, holding its original shape after multiple uses and launderings and maintaining 95% of its warmth after 20 washings.

It uses AquaBan technology, a surface encapsulation treatment, to ensure the insulation stays warm when wet by repelling water and speeding up the drying process.

“Time after time, our insulation delivers on durable warmth – warmth that lasts no matter how many times the garment is stretched, compressed or washed,” said Matt Schrantz, chief operating officer at Climashield.

Climashield offers insulation for sleeping bags, outerwear, gloves and footwear and is headquartered in Tennessee.
