Ramtect shows wool insulation benefits at Outdoor Retailer
10/08/2015
The thin insulation has all the properties of wool and is a natural alternative to down.
It is a break away from puffy down jackets, which makes it a possible “down sweater” (the ultra light down jackets made popular by Patagonia and Uniqlo) alternative.
Ramtect’s ‘Essential’ styles have recently completed a wear test in the high-elevation forests and desert recreation lands of Bend, Oregon, and were launched at the Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City (August 5 to 8).
Doug Hoschek, Ramtect outdoor director, said: “Whatever the customer wants, the retailer will soon be asked to find it.”
Wool fillers are a growing trend in active sportswear. Icebreaker and Ortovox use wool fillers made by German company Baur Vliesstoffe and HD Wool in the UK is also introducing wool insulation to the active sports market.
