Pertex chosen for Black Diamond’s latest line
18/03/2013
Pertex Eco Quantum, Microlight and Classic fabrics have been used to create lightweight, wind resistant and water-repellent high-performance products for mountain sport enthusiasts.
Steve Laycock, Pertex brand manager, said: “The entire insulated portion of the collection features Pertex’s lightweight fabrics.”
The line includes the Access hoody, jacket and vest, developed with a hybrid fabric combination featuring Pertex Eco Quantum, the brand’s lightest fabric. This fabric, made from recycled materials, provides tear strength and seam strength.
The Stance Belay hoody and jacket is easily compressible for quick packing, and uses Pertex’s Microlight fabric, which offers a dense weave preventing excessive heat loss.
The Stance Belay parka and pant are constructed from PrimaLoft Synergy sleeping-bag insulation, made with a special proprietary weave and through-capillary action technology.
