Haglöfs develops graphene-infused mimic insulation

21/02/2020
Outdoor brand Haglöfs has developed a graphene-infused mimic insulation, which will be used in products intended for deep trekking into rugged, cold terrain and for high mountain assents.

According to the company, graphene is a single-atom-thin layer of carbon that forms a grid with “unparalleled strength and conductivity”. The resulting insulation heat faster, contains the warmth longer and decreases the volume of insulation needed.

Graphene will be featured in the brand’s V series Mimic, Nordic Mimic and Roc Mimic. The company said the line will be game-changing for mountaineering and expeditions, as wearers can decrease the bulk and space in their bags and on their bodies. The technology will be tested in the extremes of the Arctic by Haglöfs’ ambassador Antti Autti.
