Insulation leader PrimaLoft has introduced six new products designed to unlock new possibilities in outdoor apparel and accessories, including UltraPeak, its highest-performing insulation to-date, in addition to grades containing mechanically and chemically regenerated textile waste.

As the company’s warmest insulation to-date, UltraPeak delivers unrivalled warmth, an elevated loft and a soft feel for all-day comfort. It exploits special architectural fibres to create a unique framework that more efficiently traps heat and is made with 100% recycled content.

The development of the company’s ReRun textile-to-textile recycling technology platform has meanwhile led to the launch of ThermoPlume, a loose-fill insulation blend that results in a flattering, down-like silhouette for versatile styling and is composed of 100% recycled content, of which 30% is mechanically recycled from pre-consumer footwear uppers.

Silver PrimaLoft ReRun is made using a regenerative recycling process which breaks down discarded textiles at the molecular level before remaking the material into insulation that meets the company’s industry-leading performance standards. It features soft, fine fibres that provide excellent thermal efficiency for lightweight warmth and versatility. It delivers performance on par with best-in-class insulation and is also made with 100% recycled content, including 50% regeneratively recycled waste textiles.

Three further launches are ThermaStretch which has 30% more stretch than comparable insulations and a 98% recovery rate, HeatSphere, featuring a layer that reflects radiant body heat, and Rise SB, which combines advanced loft with packability and is optimised for sleeping bags.

“The launch of these six new products is a direct result of the momentum we’re experiencing at PrimaLoft, driven by our commitment to enabling outdoor enthusiasts to perform at their peak,” says Anne Cavassa, president and CEO of PrimaLoft. “UltraPeak is the ultimate expression of this focus. A result of decades of expertise, it’s built to deliver top performance, shaped by our community’s needs and driven by our commitment to protecting the outdoors.”
