Thermore to partake at OutDoor–Friedrichshafen

Founded in 1972 in Milan, Thermore soon became a worldwide leader in the research, production and marketing of thermal insulation for apparel in both sportswear and fashion.

The global presence of the Thermore Group makes it possible for international clients to benefit from Thermore’s market-leading experience at a convenient and cost effective price point, with operations in Europe, the USA and Asia - including production facilities in Thailand and offices in Hong Kong.

With 40 years of expertise, Thermore has developed its philosophy with the “Set Yourself Free” campaign: total comfort and freedom of movement in combination with a body temperature comfort zone.

Its unique scrim-less design and fiber migration treatment allow for greater resistance and durability - which equates to longer term warmth and performance.

To celebrate its 40 year anniversary, Thermore will participate at the 19th edition of OutDoor - Friedrichshafen, Germany, from the 12th to 15th of July 2012. The show will include the most important worldwide players in the outdoor industry.

Thermore will present the new TMK product line, featuring 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyester fibers, and the enhanced Rinnova product, with a content of 100% post-consumer recycled fibers - once again bringing the Company to the forefront in the development of high-performance components with a strong focus on sustainability.

The Rinnova product is the only thermal insulation which utilizes 100% recycled fibers derived from post-consumer plastic bottles and is GRS certified. This unique insulation is able to offer the high tech performance and design friendly options that Thermore has set as a standard for its entire range of products over the past 40 years.

Rinnova offers excellent warmth, a soft hand, easy care and it is available in various weights and thickness options to meet every need for the contemporary consumer. Rinnova is engineered for active sports, sportswear and fashion wear.

Thermore’s Rinnova performs at a higher standard and its special formulation creates a product which is very resistant and durable to machine washing/drying and can also be dry cleaned if needed. Thanks to Thermore's strong focus on research of sustainable products, each jacket made with Rinnova allows for an average savings of 18.48 MJ of energy. This is enough energy to power a compact fluorescent light bulb (with an output equivalent to a 100W old style bulb) for over 200 hours!

In addition to these, brands exhibiting at OutDoor such as Jack Wolfskin and Fjällräven will showcase the Thermore products in their collections. Thermore is used for example in some of the insulated jackets by Jack Wolfskin, one of the leading outdoor brands worldwide. Jack Wolfskin was particularly impressed by the efforts done by Thermore with regard to using recycled materials.
