NuDown offers customisable insulation with ‘air pump’ jackets
14/09/2015
Its proprietary technology, which it calls NuTech, provides warmth via a pocketsize hand pump that consumers use to adjust their level of warmth. Users pump air into the chambers in the garment until it conforms snugly to the body, providing their desired level of warmth and comfort, or hit a release valve for cooling.
“NuDown is providing outdoor, ski, snowboard and travel enthusiasts with the next generation of sustainable and clean outerwear,” said its CEO, Bob Hall. “Our jackets and vests are ideal for travel because they compress for easy packing and can be used in a variety of temperatures across multiple seasons.”
Jeff Pickett founded NuDown when he purchased the apparel side of Klymit, a Utah-based maker of outdoor equipment and apparel, in a spinout in 2013.
