so you want to be warm this winter

I read today in Textile World magazine about a new insulation being used by a German company. Not having any prior knowledge I did some research and the following is what I found.

Insulation Of The Future: The Heat Is On

Insulation products reinvent in delivering next generation lightweight warmth, breathability and flexibility. The essential invisible ingredient for the winter outdoors industry ticks all the boxes as comfort, sustainability, multi function and innovative combinations push through.

With moisture management, breathability and quick dry added to the thermal performance of this product, the bend of silk and polypropylene fibers, with the polypropylene delivering on the lightweight aspect is sandwiched between the polyester.

A combination of 40 per cent merino lambswool, 45 per cent Celliant and 15 per cent polyester is another development by Imbotex, offering a range of weights from 60 – 160 g/m2. The inclusion of Celliant, a synthetic polymer, has been proven through clinical tests to increase oxygen levels and help balance the body temperature.

The unique composition of the lambswool and Celliant is designed to work together by recycling the heat emitted by the body.

Celliant master batch is added to a liquid polyester resin and extruded into staple fiber.

Our scientists have selected 13 safe naturally occurring, thermos-reactive minerals for their unique properties and combined them into a patented and clinically proven formula to create Celliant.

I do not believe for one moment that the cellliant technology is any more than a marketing ploy to sell something that has no value. This product is no different than the primaloft or liteloft products are and for that matter ANY chopped staple fiberfill product offered for insulation purposes in garments.

I find it very discouraging to read about products that are made with materials that have zero chance of working for whatever purpose the maker of the material states.

I view the whole world of bogus materials that have evolved in the textile industry to gore with the nonsensical idea that you could have a material like theirs that would do what they claimed.

They were successful promoting this lie and so it set the agenda for as many as there could be to follow with their lies.

If you want to be warm and stay warm this winter and many more to come you want to wear Lamilite/Climashield outerwear because EVERY chopped staple fiberfill product available will allow you to become cold and that way you can stay cold.

Lamilite/Climashield is the insulation of the past, the present and the future. Nothing and I mean nothing is even close
