The durable lightweight protection of the Helium Collection is now available in a new insulator that keeps you warm even when wet. Diamond Fuse durability meets the lightweight weather resistance and warmth of VerticalX™ ECO SR, the insulation made from the recycled polyester of REPREVE® and bio-based Sorona®. Combining elements from the most protective technologies, sustainable materials, and performance-driven insulations, the Helium Insulated Hoodie masters the art of balance. This is your one-stop solution for when you need to stay warm in rugged conditions.
Pertex developed Diamond Fuse technology as a unique way of improving the durability and abrasion resistance of fabrics without adding any unnecessary weight. Diamond Fuse fabrics use yarns with unique diamond shaped filaments that lock together to create a durable and highly abrasion resistant fabric. This engineered structure allows Diamond Fuse fabrics to remain very stable over extended wear and washing.
Our new VerticalX™ Eco SR has the reliable warmth of VerticalX™ insulation, packed with even more loft, softness that feels like down feathers, and a new blend of sustainable materials. Low-density areas of REPREVE®, a recycled polyester, combine with high-density areas of Sorona®, a renewable plant-based fabric known for its durability. VerticalX™ Eco SR Insulation is just as breathable and stretchy as our best-selling synthetic insulation VerticalX™, we’ve just managed to add even more loft without adding any more weight – or bulk. Just as compressible as ever, this vertically-lapped technology still insulates the wearer even when wet.
