Carhartt, a global premium workwear brand, has introduced Yukon Extremes collection, built for extreme cold conditions. To ensure that the collection would protect in harshest conditions, Carhartt sourced variety of fabrics that were held to rigorous testing methods and selected a 500-denier Cordura fabric shell and 3M Thinsulate insulation for many pieces.
 
The company also created its own abrasion testing so that it could aggressively test the durability. 
 
Cordura, an innovative supplier of the most durable fabrics, is used extensively in military gear and apparel with proven performance in some of the world's toughest conditions.
 
Additionally, throughout the design process, Carhartt worked closely with 3M to introduce a new reflective safety technology that offers retro-reflectivity and versatility.
 
While Carhartt's original Yukon collection was developed over 25 years ago, the company is committed to evolving its products to not only meet the ever-changing needs of consumers, but to also improve its gear as well. The re-invented Yukon Extremes collection was updated this year to be warmer and tougher than any other cold gear on the market, without the weight.
 
Built to offer complete cold weather defense, the new Yukon Extremes collection has less bulk while adding warmth, increased movement and improved functionality. In addition, it's the first time Yukon Extremes gear has been available in the company's women's line and also introduces a fleece offering.
 
“With Yukon Extremes, we knew we needed to offer a product that provided extreme warmth and durability at an affordable price point that could be used in the coldest environments – such as the Arctic,” Alex Guerrero, senior vice president, general manager, global product at Carhartt, said in a press release. “We're extremely proud of this updated offering and don't believe there are any competitors in this high-end category that deliver the type of enduring value that we do.”
 
The Carhartt Yukon Extremes collection includes: Insulated Parka (men's and women's) - this parka packs a serious punch of warmth with a whopping 390 grams of 3M Thinsulate Featherless insulation. Its 500-denier Cordura shell adds an extra layer of battle-tested toughness for incredible durability; Insulated Coverall (men's and women's) - these insulated coveralls not only keep consumers warm and moving comfortably in extreme cold, but also protects you from freezing weather, rain, snow and whipping winds. Like the parka, it also features a 500-denier Cordura shell, as well as 150 grams of 3M Thinsulate insulation for warmth without the weight; Insulated Active Jac (men's only ) – this insulated active jac fights off cold, wind, and rain so you can work through whatever weather comes your way. A 6.5-ounce, 500-denier Cordura nylon shell and 150 grams of 3M Thinsulate featherless insulation offer warmth without the weight; and Insulated Biberall (men's only) - these bibs are built to protect from freezing weather, snow, wet conditions and whipping winds. Made with 6.5-ounce, 500 denier Cordura nylon shell and 150 grams 3M Thinsulate insulation, they also feature 3M Scotchlite carbon black reflective taping to show movement and create enhanced visibility.
