As anyone who has played in and around mountains or deserts intimately knows, temperature and weather conditions change throughout the day – sometimes dramatically. Yet most insulated garments provided only static warmth, because down feathers or synthetic polyfills work as static thermal insulations, say executives at Thermore. Traditional insulations always retain the same amount of thermicity, regardless of the outside temperature.
Thermore’s new Thermal Booster insulation, however, works in a totally different way, says the company, keeping users warm over a wider range of temperatures. In other words, as the weather gets colder, this smart insulation provides extra warmth, says Thermore. The company sites independent tests showing that Thermore Thermal Booster is more than 20% warmer at lower temperatures.
“It’s just like having a heat pack: as the temperature decreases, it gradually increases its warmth up to more than 20%,” says the company. “However, unlike actual heat packs, heating batteries or phase change materials, its effect does not end: Thermal Booster maintains its higher warmth for as long as the temperature is lower. And of course, if the temperature increases, it automatically re-tunes to the warmer temps, thus keeping you in the comfort zone.”
The Thermal Booster smart insulation is available in two different weight variations to match most temperature range requirements. Also, thanks to Thermore’s proprietary anti-fiber migration treatment, the effect is consistent and durable even after repeated washing cycles and heavy duty wear, says Thermore.
“Wearing a garment with Thermore Thermal Booster will allow users to enjoy outdoor life to the fullest – no matter what weather they may have to face,” says Thermore. “Enhanced thermal performance will always be a part of the garment and function in a very natural way. No batteries included (or needed).”
