Down jackets are light and warm, but their advantages are almost lost when they get wet. This is a drawback, and one of the solutions to this issue has been the adoption of "synthetic insulation that is lightweight, warm, and water-resistant like down." Jackets using synthetic insulation made from suitable chemical fibers are now gaining popularity as cold-weather gear, rivaling down jackets.
Among well-known synthetic insulations, PrimaLoft stands out. The prestigious outdoor brand "
Karrimor" has adopted PrimaLoft for its "
Insulation LT Hoodie,” which received great acclaim last season and has introduced new colors this season. Therefore, I visited
Karrimor International Co., Ltd. and spoke with Yukari Kano from the product department.
