K2 adds Thindown to new winter shoe range
South Korean outdoor brand K2 has released a collection of winter jackets and shoes designed to harness both the thermoregulatory properties of Thindown’s compressed natural down “fabric” and the breathable waterproofing and windproof functions of Gore-Tex membranes.  

The premium-priced, slim-fit down jackets for men and women, available in several lengths and colourways, have been sealed and treated with Gore-Tex and launched under the name Thinair Cloud Absolute. Meanwhile, the brand’s three new winter footwear models – the Linda padded boot, the Cosmo pmuadded short boot and the Cyclamen trainer (all pictured) – have also debuted under the Thinair umbrella. All three styles are lined with natural fur.  

Thindown’s relatively lightweight, fabric-style qualities similarly gave the Italian Olympic team a noticeably streamlined appearance over Beijing 2022 last winter. The completely made-in-Italy product is manufactured to Responsible Down Standard and was launched by Abruzzo-based Nipi (Natural Insulation Products Inc) in 2015
