THE ULTIMATE SYNTHETIC INSULATION FOR PROTECTION AND PERFORMANCE
POLARGUARD® continuous filament insulation is the recognized industry standard for high-performance in insulated outerwear and sleeping bags. For over 30 years the POLARGUARD® family of insulation products has provided greater thermal efficiency, more loft and resiliency and surpassed durability than other synthetic products. With POLARGUARD® continuous filament insulation, sleeping bags and jackets will not develop thick or thin cold spots even after years of continued use.
POLARGUARD® CONTINUOUS FILAMENT
POLARGUARD® synthetic insulation is made with continuous filament fibers (tiny thread like fibers) that form a long, single strand that may stretch for miles. Other synthetic staple insulations use short, chopped-up fibers, typically 2 inches long or less in length, that are bonded together to create loft. Over time, short fibers can pull apart and separate, causing clumps, and cold spots. Even after continued use, POLARGUARD® insulation will not separate, mat, clump, or develop lumps and cold spots.
WARM WHEN WET
Unlike down, synthetic insulation retains much of its insulation value even when wet. In an independent study of sleeping bags, comparing POLARGUARD® insulation, down, and premium cut staple insulation, POLARGUARD® proved to be warmer than down and cut staple when wet.
ABSORBS LESS MOISTURE
POLARGUARD® insulation absorbs less moisture and is breathable so moisture vapors from the body will pass through the battings, keeping you drier and warmer. POLARGUARD® insulation dries faster than down.
SUPERIOR LOFT RETENTION
The triangular cross section fiber construction provides more loft and helps to prevent the fiber from collapse or flattening after continued use.
EASY CARE
Products filled with POLARGUARD® synthetic insulation can be machine-washed and dried or hand washed. Be sure to follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
