New lightweight Thinsulate for footwear launched
As cold feet can be distracting and uncomfortable for outdoor enthusiasts during winter, Thinsulate insulation has developed a new product for footwear that will help keep them more comfortable inside and outside longer – Thinsulate insulation 100 gram. A blend of olefin microfibres and larger staple fibres, the product is designed for use in applications where breathability and lightweight warmth are crucial for performance and comfort, such as cool weather trail running, hiking and casual/dress footwear.
The new 100 gram insulation is the lightest footwear Thinsulate insulation on the market, which is said to make it ideal for footwear designers developing new products for trail running, hiking, cycling and even for every day footwear that can be worn on the train platform as well as in the office during the cooler months of the year.
Thinsulate insulation 100 gram provides yet another option for designers to create unique footwear for consumers. The lightweight warmth is perfect for anyone who spends time outside – training, commuting or just enjoying the great outdoors,” said Kim Kocer, market development manager, 3M Personal Safety Products Department.
