New technology in TNF mountain kit
03/02/2020
Among the technologies debuting with the Summit Series Advanced Mountain Kit is Cloud Down, which uses a discontinuous offset baffle construction for increased thermal performance in a lighter package.
Another is 50/50 Down, comprising a series of down-proof baffles paired with a highly air-permeable face fabric, designed to achieve a breathable down layer with less bulk.
FutureFleece, a full-loop fabric construction made with octagonal-shaped yarn that has hollow cross-sections for higher thermal performance, is said to keep the wearer warm and comfortable for hours in harsh environments.Dot Fleece is an active base layer that pulls moisture from skin and expels it to the outside of the garment with hydrophobic inner yarns, as hydrophilic outer yarns pull moisture through engineered holes throughout the layer.
Finally, Futurelight, the brand’s most advanced breathable-waterproof outerwear technology, has been updated with enhanced air permeability to a waterproof membrane.
Pieces from the kit will be available in May through select dealers and via the website, and the technologies and materials introduced through the kit will become more broadly available in autumn.
