Climashield technology turns jacket into sleeping bag

24/09/2014
US-based insulation manufacturer Climashield has announced a collaboration with Beyond Clothing in a jacket and pant that can act in place of a sleeping bag in mild climates.

"Our team members have years of experience in developing technical survival systems to withstand the most extreme cold weather conditions found across the globe," said Rick Elder, president of Beyond Clothing. "Climashield's insulation offers a superior warmth-to-weight ratio, along with the ability to shed moisture and maintain loft — it is one of the most advanced synthetic insulations we have tested."

The AXIOS collection is engineered for use as a system, with each piece complementing the layer beneath it with offset seam lines and anatomical shaping for fit and comfort.

"When showing our product to customers, we like to keep the talk to a minimum and let the product speak for itself. Beyond Clothing shares our values, conducting extensive field tests to vet every material that goes into their gear," said Brian Emanuel, general manager at Climashield.
