Primaloft® One
The human body spends a lot of energy keeping its optimal temperature, especially under cold conditions. Primaloft®One is a patented icro-structure that gives great thermal insulation to help the body maintain its temperature, minimizing energy loss. Extremely light and soft, it was originally developed by the US Army to replace natural down. As down absorbs moisture, it becomes wet and loses its thermal-insulating abilities. Primaloft® One absorbs three times less water, is 14% warmer when dry and 24% warmer when wet, than the competitive insulation.
Norrøna has a progressive policy towards the humane treatment of animals involved in our products and the reduction of environmental damage wherever possible. Our down products use the highest available down quality that we can find, which is a by-product of the food industry (in contrast to being killed just for insulation).
Our down comes from the mountains of Pyrenees in France where the birds spend the days outside in a free gazing environment. The birds are raised on a diet of grain and corn and are not force fed. The down we use is from the breast area which has the highest fill power on the bird. All treatment of the birds complies with European standards and the highly specialized washing of the down passes the Oeko-Tex 100 standards.
Our down750 means down fill power from 750 to 800 cu in/oz with the percentage of down cluster from 93-96%.
In combination with either our PFOA free light weight nylon or our 100% PFOA free chemically recycled polyester shells; we are committed to offer the best quality with the least amount of damage.
