The outdoor athlete

The athletic consumer

There are several functional attributes that are

important for outdoor apparel

Breathability:

The degree of breathability depends on the quality of the fabric and how efficient the material is in transferring moisture from the inside of the garment to the outside. The Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) is a measure for breathability. The amount of water which is transferred through a square meter in 24 hours is collected and measured in grams. The greater the amount of water collected the more breathable the material.

Coating:

The protective outer coating is a very thin film made out of synthetic material such as Polyurethane or Acrylic. The coating is applied to the outermost layer of material and increases protection against wind and rain. This also decreases the amount of wear and tear on the material.

Membrane:

A membrane is a thin flexible wall that separates fluids from gases. Microfine pores make it possible to keep liquids out but also allow water vapor to escape. In comparison to protective coatings, membranes are more breathable and durable.

Gore-tex is the most well-known brand and one of the highest in quality in the outdoor market.

Waterproof:

Generally, clothing may be called waterproof when it can bear a water column of 1200 to 1500 millimeters. The best jacket can withstand a water column of tens of meters. The test is performed by placing a tube on a piece of fabric and filling it with water until water droplets form on the other side.

• Softshells: 3,000-5,000 mm• Climastorm: 5,000 mm• Climaproof: 10,000 mm• Gore-tex: > 28,000 mm

There are several stitching techniques to increase comfort

and functionality.

Stitching:

Even though stitching holes are very small, there is still room for water to enter. Unsealed seams are usually why the waterproof apparel leaks.

Heat Sealed Stitching:

In order to achieve an absolute waterproof function, seams and seam edges are heat-fused with sealing tape. Durable 1cm wide double-sided seams are used for the most critical seams.

Flatlock Stitching:

This unique stitching technique allows for a flat seam that avoids chafing and rubbing on the skin. Materials with different characteristics can be securely sewn together using this method.

FORMOTION®, an innovative development by adidas, supports

the athlete’s muscular system and helps him to maintain the right

posture during performance. It improves comfort and enhances

performance by combining several different fabrics with different

properties.

All FORMOTION® garments are preshaped and include the

concept of optimized seam-placement for an improved fit and

comfort during all outdoor activities.

KEY BENEFITS:

3D constructed

Ultimate performance and comfort while in motion

Unrestricted freedom of movement and an athletic fit at the

same time

BodyMapping helps to analyze how the body regulates temperature

and sweat during exercise.

Through BodyMapping, adidas has identified different zones of heat and

moisture release based on gender, body type and weather conditions.

Using this information, we are able to design garments that meet the specific

environmental demands of each particular sport – from slack lining in a park

to high mountain trail running.

Previously, apparel layering was the only tool athletes had to help regulate

their temperature.

With BodyMapping, athletes can enjoy the combined benefits of layering –

weather protection, insulation and moisture wicking – in a single garment

with strategically placed fabrics and technologies, greatly reducing bulk and

weight.

By mapping the body’s critical heat and sweat zones using infrared cameras,

designers are able to place these technologies exactly where they are

needed to optimize the athlete’s body temperature. An athlete can actually

stay cooler in climacool® apparel than they can in bare skin.

Ventilation is the most efficient way to significantly cool an

athlete and ensure that he stays dry by taking moisture away from

the skin. BodyMapping studies and findings have helped the

adidas innovation team to take this to the next level through

FlowMapping!

It is a concept that helps adidas understand the athlete’s body

better so what our designers can place climacool® technology in

exactly the right place to keep you dryer, more comfortable and

performing at your peak. Using FlowMapping data, anatomically

configured inlets are placed in high-velocity areas to channel peak

airflow into the garment and over the athlete’s skin to provide

maximum cooling during intense athletic activity.

The result is a new generation of climacool® apparel that

significantly increases cooling without the addition of any extra

materials or technologies.

PrimaLoft® is light weight, breathable and offers superior water repellency, so you

remain dry, warm and comfortable even under the most extreme conditions. It uses

a microfiber structure to help the body retain warmth and conserve energy.

The PrimaLoft® insulation padding creates millions of air spaces suspended in

the microfiber mesh. These air spaces are so fine that water drops bead on the

surface. Even when forced into the PrimaLoft® core, water is repelled and not

absorbed by the microfiber structure, so PrimaLoft® keeps you warm even under

wet conditions.

KEY BENEFITS

• Warmest synthetic insulation material

• Warm even when wet

• Extremely compressible and light weight

• Fast drying properties and breathability make it ideal choice for outdoor sports

adidas Outdoor uses: PrimaLoft® Gold

PrimaLoft® Silver

PrimaLoft® Black

Primaloft Synergy Primaloft Silver Insulation

Primaloft One Primaloft Gold Insulation

PrimaLoft® GOLD is the highest performing insulation on the market for

warmth, water resistance, softness and compressibility. PrimaLoft® GOLD is

an ultra-fine microfiber insulation that is as warm, soft and light weight, and is

warmer wet or dry than all other insulations.

Ultra-fine fibers form tiny air pockets that trap body heat and keep the cold

out. The result is immediate warmth without the bulk. PrimaLoft® GOLD

Microfibers are engineered for permanent water resistance and create tight

surface tension that resists moisture penetration, resulting in an insulation

that dries faster than goose down. Ultra-fine fibers mimic the compressibility

of goose down and are breathable, allowing moisture vapor to be transported

through the fibers and away from the skin.

KEY BENEFITS:

• Excellent Thermal Efficiency

• Superior Water Resistance

• Dries Faster than Down

• light weight and Breathable

• As Warm, Soft and Compressible as Down

• Wind Resistant

PrimaLoft® SILVER is a premium performance insulation

engineered for superior warmth, water resistance, loft, softness

and compressibility. PrimaLoft® SILVER is a fine fiber insulation

that keeps the body warm, dry and comfortable even in extreme

conditions.

The proprietary fiber technology creates a unique matrix that

maximizes loft for superior insulating capacity. PrimaLoft®

SILVER is thermally efficient, water resistant, breathable and

compressible. The ultra fine fibers create a high performing

insulation without the bulk, perfect for use in outerwear.

KEY BENEFITS:

• Thermally efficient – wet or dry

• Superior water resistance

• Fast drying

• light weight & breathable

• Compressible

• Wind resistant

PrimaLoft® BLACK has been established as a new performance

standard for continuous filament insulation by addressing the two

most significant downfalls of competitive continuous filament

insulation: compressibility and softness

Solid, soft and ultra fine denier filaments provide greater durability

than hollow filaments along with excellent compression and

recovery. (over 20% more compressible)

BLACK‘s thermal performance and comfort are the result of

excellent wet and dry clo-values, combined with next generation

manufacturing processes which result in a new performance

standard for quality and consistency.

It has a more consistent insulating structure virtually eliminates

cold spots, while promoting good breathability.

KEY BENEFITS:

• Warm – even when wet

• No cold spots – continuous filament insulation

• Softness

Polartec® Alpha® is the latest evolution of synthetic insulation, offering a rare

combination of light weight warmth and true breathability in a “puffy” style garment.

Because Polartec® Alpha® insulation is highly durable and more stable than other

synthetic insulation products, more open-construction woven face and back fabrics can

be selected to create an air permeable package. This small amount of airflow rapidly

draws moisture away from the body and allows Polartec® Alpha® to be worn in a wider

range of activities compared to classic “vapor barrier” style insulation.

It offers a combination of unique performance attributes, vis a vis other synthetic

insulations, that are highly valued by an outdoor athlete looking for versatility. A

Polartec Alpha garment can be worn in both the "stop" and "go" phases of outdoor

activities. Current market synthetic insulations are not breathable enough to handle the

"go" phases of most backcountry pursuits. They are typically additional garments that

must be carried for use during static period. Polartec Alpha excels at providing comfort

for users on the move.

Key benefits

Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating

fabrics

Breathable to provide comfort in all activities: does not restrict the

movement of moisture vapor

Dries quickly to minimize heat loss

Insulates even when wet

Versatile; appropriate for a broad range of activities as a mid- or outer-

layer

Wind resistant

Machine washable

Down is considered as one of the best insulating materials

among outdoor experts

The down of birds is a layer of fine feathers found under the tougher exterior

feathers.

KEY BENEFITS:

• It offers excellent thermal properties and has good lofting

characteristics. This means that the down traps small pockets of air

efficiently which provide a thermal barrier.

• It can be packed into a very small space – high compressibility, light

weight and high heat retention.

• Goose down has a higher warmth to weight ratio than other downs.

Fill Power is the most frequently used measure of down quality and is

related to the insulating value of the down. It is measured by cubic inches

per ounce (in3/oz).

• A jacket made with high fill power is lighter and more compressible than

an equally warm one made with lower quality down.

• Down rated with a fillpower of 500-600 in3/oz is warm enough and light

enough for most conditions, and 700-800 in3/oz fill is used for light weight

and extremely cold-weather gear.

Built-in warmth, without the weight.

INVISTA's THERMOLITE® fabric and insulation provides warmth

and comfort without weight. Because it is comfortable and light

weight, THERMOLITE® fabric and insulation allows freedom of

movement—making it the perfect layer. Its hollow-core fibers trap

in air for greater insulation for light, yet heavy-duty performance.

In a coat made with THERMOLITE® fabric and insulation, you will

stay warm and dry. Its larger surface area allows for fast

evaporation by sending moisture away from the skin to the

surface of the fabric, where it quickly evaporates.

Pontetorto TECNOSTRETCH: Insulation with high tech look

The Tecnostretch line from Pontetorto perfectly satisfies the requirements for a clean

look and high elasticity while delivering top insulation performance.

An addition of spandex gives the fabric its stretch and special elasticity, while the

smooth outers provide the high tech look. All the while, the insulating properties of

Pontetorto fleece remain, because the plush inners (sheared and napped or unbrushed

with visible loops) trap a large volume of warming air inside.

It offers an ideal combination of fiber density and knitting technique to produce

incomparably light, soft, elastic, and yet still durable fabrics.

Gride structures offer a broad range of functional advantages such as low weight,

reduced pack size, and better ventilation than basic fleece.

Superior fleece fabrics that combine polyester and lycra.A great stretch and recovery, allows full body movement for all sport activities.

KEY BENEFITS:

Spandex provides high elasticity and stretch

Optimal warmth to weight performance

High tech, smooth outers

Durable

In the heat or cold. Whether taking it easy or turning it on. COOLMAX® ALL

SEASON fabric does it all. It keeps outdoor enthusiasts dry and comfortable through

changing conditions on everything from a short hike to a long race.

COOLMAX® ALL SEASON fabric contains fibers with a channeled surface to move

moisture away from the body when the wearer is hot. Fibers with a hollow core provides

insulation for added comfort on colder days.

KEY BENEFITS:

Dries quickly.

Maintains a natural feel that’s soft, light weight and breathable.

Empowers the wearer with more confidence, more self-belief and more focus in

their sport or activity.

Pontetorto Merino TECNOWOOL: Performance meets nature in a sustainable way!

Tecnowool from Pontetorto makes worsted woolen fabrics highly functional and suitable

for use in active sportwear. In this product group, Pontetorto combines the positive

properties of synthetic fibers in the inside with the natural look and advantages of wool

on the outside. The result: Synthetic fibers quickly transport the moisture that is

produced through strenuous exercise to the outside where the wool stores it until it

gradually evaporates into the air. Sportsmen and women always stay dry!

Tecnowool Singlelayer: The fabrics in this group can be worn directly on the skin or as a

pullover. Because of the two-surface design, these fabrics have polyester insides that

“wick“ the perspiration quickly away from the skin, while the wool outers absorb this

moisture and allow it to evaporate. The sportsmen and women who wear it stay dry! The

wool outers are also the reason behind the many stylish, natural looks. The stylish ideas

are unlimited: knits with obvious mesh, fulled, plaited, with needle felt look, striped or in

a Norwegian pattern, in vari-color or even neon colors. The same is true for the variety of

backings - the range extends from smooth and fine, functional to furry or velour weaves.

KEY BENEFITS:

soft on the skin

retains heat – while remaining breathable

absorbs moisture in order to keep you dry

100% recycled

Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics are designed to keep your skin dry when you

sweat. All fabrics in this series feature a patented bi-component knit

construction that uses different yarns on either side of the fabric. This

creates two different surfaces: one that is optimized to move moisture away

from the skin, the other to dry quickly.

The fabric is highly breathable and does not restrict the movement of

moisture vapor.

"Touch points" on the fabric inner surface draw moisture. Sweat is wicked off

the skin to the outside of the fabric where it spreads rapidly for evaporation.

Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics move at least 30% more moisture away from

the skin than single-component fabrics.

When the sweat reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out on the outer

surface of the fabric, enabling it to dry at least 2 times faster than cotton.

Key benefits

Superior wicking action

Keeps your skin dry when you sweat

Highly breathable

Dries quickly

Comfortable next-to-skin

Machine washable

Polartec® Thermal Pro® High Loft fabrics take insulation to a new level by

maximizing warmth without added weight, compressibility and breathability.

They are the most technically advanced of the Polartec® insulation fabrics,

achieving the utmost versatility and performance under extreme conditions.

This level of performance is critical when all you have is what you can carry.

The key to this fabric’s performance is in its unique patented construction. An

open-mesh stitch promotes compressibility, increases airflow and minimizes

weight. Low density, high loft pile face and back minimizes weight but

increases warmth and compressibility. The fabric maintains its loft wear after

wear, for enduring warmth. Fabrics are at least 30% warmer per weight than

standard fleece or the most common competitive “high loft” offering.

Key benefits

Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional

insulating fabrics. Highest warmth to weight ratios of any Polartec®

fabric.

Highly breathable to provide comfort in all activities: does not

restrict the movement of moisture vapor.

Lightens your load and takes up less space in your pack than

standard fleece fabrics.

Dries quickly to minimize heat loss.

Versatile; appropriate for a broad range of activities.

Machine washable.

One of the most popular and talked about FIBERS around in the outdoor

industry is not a lab made synthetic, but a simple natural FIBER, taken

from Merino sheep- Merino Wool.

Although ‘fluffy’ in appearance, the FIBERS of a merino wool product are

lighter than any other sheep’s wool, reducing the scratchy, heavy sensation

that many people associate with a thick woolen sweater, which is why merino

is used in next to the skin clothing such as baselayers, socks, and

underwear.

Able to retain and diffuse heat as needed, merino works in much the same

way as a fleece or a similar synthetic. Merino Wool Can Be Used:

By people with sensitive skin.

By people during active wear

For general wear

For insulation in cold weather

For comfort in items such as socks

KEY BENEFITS:

Merino Wool is a natural FIBER so it is soft on the skin.

Merino Wool is a warm FIBER so it retains heat – while remaining

breathable.

Merino wool stretches bit keeps its shape- making it ideal during

activity or for travelling

Merino Wool absorbs moisture in order to keep you dry

Dri-release®: natural touch with high performance

Optimer's Dri-release®, uses a patented blend of natural and

synthetic fibers. The natural fibers absorb moisture pulling it off

the skin and into the fabric. Synthetic fibers repel moisture, forcing

it through to the surface of the garment where it evaporates

quickly as airflow moves across the fabric.

adidas Outdoor offers:

Gore-tex® is the market leader in breathable waterproof

technologyThe micro porous structure of the Gore-tex® membrane makes Gore-tex®

fabrics completely waterproof. Each microscopic pore is about 20,000 times

smaller than a drop of water, which means no external moisture - from rain to

snow to that puddle you just stepped in - can penetrate the membrane. To

keep you comfortable and protected in the windiest conditions, the Gore-

tex® membrane provides an impenetrable wind shield. Your product

breathes, but wind stays out. The pores in the Gore-tex® membrane are 700

times bigger than a water vapor molecule, so perspiration can easily

evaporate and you can stay dry from the inside out.

Garments engineered with Gore-tex® product technology offer a unique

solution for specific activities and climate conditions to individually fit

consumer needs. Each product class consists of a distinct laminate package

including core technologies such as membranes, production processes and

textile choices.

2 Layer construction:Ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities, with this construction a Gore-tex® membrane is bonded to the outer fabric only. The benefit: the separate lining inside improves wearing comfort and versatility. This construction can be combined with insulation, keeping the wearer dry and warm.

3-Layer ConstructionUnlike the 2-layer construction, this construction bonds the Gore-tex® membrane to both the outer fabric and the inner lining. The benefit: no movement between the layers, which means less wear and tear, and enhanced durability.

Z-Layer ConstructionA Gore-tex® membrane is bonded to a light weight fabric and a liner is freely suspended between the outer fabric and the lining. The benefit: fewer sealed seams means manufacturers have more freedom for fashion applications. This construction can be combined with insulation.

Polartec® Power Shield® Pro combines never before seen levels of air permeability

with durable hydrostatic resistance to keep you dry both from within and from out

Polartec® Power Shield® Pro fabrics feature a smooth, tightly woven face for great

abrasion resistance, and a polyester back for a high warmth-to- weight ratio. The

membrane in the middle enables the fabric to block 99% of the wind. The remaining

1% circulates within the fabric which greatly enhances moisture vapor transmission,

improving breathability and reducing the risk of heat stress buildup.

Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics have the best breathability in the soft shell market.

In fact, Polartec® Power Shield® Pro fabrics are 30-50% more breathable than

windproof soft shells in dynamic or active conditions.
