DOWN -
100% WHITE GOOSE DOWN--WATER
RESISTANT 950 fill power |
100% WHITE GOOSE DOWN
This premium quality 100% white goose down is treated with a water resistant
treatment that coats each plume to create a hydrophobic finish. This
treatment provides an invisible coating that does not compromise the
texture, compressibility, feel or color of the fill. End result- you
stay drier and warmer. To the best of our knowledge we are the only ones
carrying this highest fill power down.
NOW PACKAGED IN ANTI STATIC 3 oz BAGS!
This top quality down is
washed and dried, cleaned and independently tested. It is
Hypoallergenic and unmatched in the industry having undergone strict
cleaning standards and is independently tested by IDFL certified testing lab
(International Down and Feather Testing Laboratory) to assure its quality. Uses: sleeping bags, sleeping quilts, jackets, vests,
booties, hoods, hats, mittens.
NOTE: The down is packaged in 3 oz packages so if you
need 6 oz you will put a 2 in the quantity box, if you need 1 pound 2 oz (18
oz in total) you will put a 6 in the qty box, etc |

THINSULATE |
65% Olelin and 35% polyester.
A very thin (approx. 1/8" - 5/8" in thickness respectively) lightweight
insulation made by 3M. Microfibers (1.4 denier) keep you warm
even when wet. One of the best synthetic insulations available.
Thinsulate is an insulation and must be
sandwiched in between an outer shell and a lining. Although the use of
different types of fabric and activity will effect the amount of warmth you
need the chart below will give you a standard application for each. Note: additional shipping
charges may apply due to bulk of packaging.
Wash Code =3
NOTE: Additional shipping charge may apply due to the package size. If
you purchase more than 4 yds of insulation we will email you a shipping quote
before we ship your order due to oversize packaging |

[NOTE: A quilt spacing of 4-10" is recommended. It is
recommended quilting the Thinsulate to the lining fabric. When
using waterproof breathable fabric the scrim portion (the
interfacing-like side) of the Thinsulate goes next to the coating on the
fabric]. Uses: jackets, hats, "snow" pants, mittens, insulation
for leather jackets, etc.

PRIMALOFT
GOLD (formally known as PrimaLoft One) |
WT/SQ. YD= 3 oz
100% fine polyester microfibers by Albany International. Refered to as
synthetic down. PrimaLoft Gold is PrimaLoft's highest
quality insulation. Primaloft's ultimate advantage over down is its
performance in the face of wet conditions. PrimaLoft Gold only
looses 4% of its insulating capability when completely wet. This
is due to the hydrophobic (water repelling) nature of the PrimaLoft fibers
that maintain loft and still continue to trap body heat even in wet
conditions. This insulation is extremely soft and highly compressible.
A 6" quilt spacing is highly recommended to ensure stability and a
downproof or high thread-count fabric is required (the fabric comes with an
ultralightweight "scrim" fabric on one side to assist with quilting).
Uses: outerwear, mittens, sleeping quilts, sleeping bags
Wash Code =10 Past customer feedback
suggests many customers using 2 layers of 3 oz feel it is good to
approximately 35 degrees
Note: additional shipping
charges may apply due to bulk of
packaging. ROLL SIZE = 45 YDS
NOTE: Additional shipping charge may apply due to the package size. If
you purchase more than 4 yds of insulation we will email you a shipping quote
before we ship your order due to oversize packaging
