Adidas Outdoor to feature PrimaLoft insulation in jackets

This hybrid insulation engineered by intimately blending premium down with moisture blocking, permanent water repellent PrimaLoft ultra-fine fibers combines the best qualities of both materials and offers warmth, protection, outstanding dry times and comfort no matter what the conditions.

“PrimaLoft’s new Performance Down Blends is a warmth and performance technology that has not been seen before in the market, and it will allow our athletes and customers to take their adventures further,” said Greg Thomsen, adidas Outdoor US managing director.  “Our Climaheat styles for fall ’14 offer consumers three different levels of performance, dependent upon their personal needs, but each will provide superior warmth in all conditions.”

Available in two levels, the Gold series will be found in the Terrex Climheat Ice Jacket for men and women.  The Silver series will be featured in the Terrex Swift Climaheat Frost Jacket for men and women and the Hiking Climaheat Jacket for men.
