The Coefficient LT Hybrid Vest is a lightweight layer designed to keep your core warm on backcountry tours or mountain runs when you need the extra protection. It features a breathable, woven front panel of PrimaLoft® insulation and a Polartec® Power Grid® fleece with a gridded interior to increase moisture-wicking performance and add breathability.
Polartec® Power Grid™: grid-construction knit strengthens performance efficiency by increasing warmth and breathability, while also reducing fabric mass. These geometric patterns improve compressibility, wicking, and add technical style because the next-to-skin surface is hydrophilic to absorb sweat vapour and transfers it outside where the outer surface disperses moisture for more efficient dry times. Continuous evaporation prevents saturation and regulates temperature in both hot and cold conditions. Breathability is improved and the reduce fabric mass reduced due to the open air channels formed by the grid design. By reinventing thermal warmth possibilities, Power Grid™ is a minimalist design that maximises fabric performance.
PrimaLoft® has ultra-fine fibres designed to trap warmth. This allows them to keep you comfortable and thermally-regulated no matter the activity, no matter the season.
bluesign® approved: The bluesign® system is the solution for a sustainable textile production. It eliminates harmful substances right from the beginning of the manufacturing process and sets and controls standards for an environmentally friendly and safe production. This not only ensures that the final textile product meets very stringent consumer safety requirements worldwide but also provides you confidence you'll acquire a sustainable product. Those operating sustainably - meaning conserving resources and reducing the environmental impact to a minimum - also act responsibly and innovatively. Wanting to produce sustainable goods though involves a detailed examination of all materials and processes used as well as the impact of the production on the environment. Only this holistic observation, which starts well before the actual production, will guarantee a final product that is harmless to human beings and the environment. The standard covers 5 principles:
Resource productivity: defines the ecological and economical goal to produce textile products of maximum quality and added value, using a minimum amount of resources as well as causing the least possible environmental impact.
Air emission: air emissions need to comply with strictly controlled emission limits along the entire production chain. Optimising the energy flow as well as using low-emission components reduces the CO2 load, implicating active climate protection.
Occupational health and safety: the health and safety of employees in the textile industry has to be safeguarded by strict guidelines. Weak points occurring locally must be detected. In accordance with the risk potential of the deployed chemical substances, corresponding occupational safety measures are mandatory.
Water emission: control aims at feeding back purified water into the natural cycle and causing the least possible pollution of rivers, lakes and seas. This can be achieved by the use of ecologically harmless components as well as by optimising production and wastewater treatment processes.
Consumer safety: includes not only the mandate for high-quality textile products without health risks, but also the assurance that all of the principles of sustainability are consistently implemented during the production process.
