Layering system update from Haglöfs
Swedish outdoor brand Haglöfs has announced that its forthcoming autumn-winter collection will include “a serious update” to its LIM layering system.
It launched the LIM (Less Is More) concept more than 20 years ago and is now preparing to introduce LIM Z|T, describing it as a synchronised performance layering system. It features fabrics from Polartec.
According to Haglöfs, this update involves garments that will deliver 30% less humidity within the clothing system than in conventional, modern layering systems.
The brand has used a selection of Polartec fabrics that are lightweight and offer high levels of durability and performance and has said the “true ingenuity” in the system comes into play when these fabrics are combined. LIM Z|T breaks with the predominant three-layer tradition to create “a truly synchronised layering system” instead.
There is a baselayer that uses Polartec PowerGrid to move humidity away from the skin quickly. The next component is “an inner mid-layer” jacket, which combines three Polartec fabrics: Alpha, Power Air and Power Dry, sourced from 100% recycled content.
Finally, an outer mid-layer jacket uses a combination of recycled Polartec Power Air and Power Dry fabrics to supply advanced thermal efficiency and moisture management.
Each product has undergone extensive field-testing to make sure outdoor enthusiasts will be able to wear them without feeling too hot or too cold.
