Insulated Outerwear Engineered for Thermal Performance
We develop insulated outerwear for different climates and applications, combining down and synthetic insulation with engineered garment construction to balance warmth, weight, mobility and durability.
Our Engineering Methodology
01
Conceptualize
Translating climate, usage and product requirements into clear insulation and construction specifications.
02
Prototype
Refining fit, insulation distribution, construction and garment weight through digital and physical prototyping.
03
Performance
Evaluating thermal performance, insulation distribution and construction durability through product-specific testing before production.
Our Solutions Portfolio
We develop insulated outerwear for different climates and applications, using down, synthetic and bonded or hybrid insulation systems to balance warmth, weight, mobility and durability. Each solution is developed around the thermal and construction requirements of the end product.

Insulation Engineering Capabilities
From Insulation to Garment — Engineering Thermal Performance
We support global brands in developing technical insulated collections through 3D garment simulation and insulation mapping.
Thermal Mapping Engineering
We use 3D garment simulation and insulation mapping to evaluate insulation placement across the garment. This helps our teams balance insulation distribution, garment weight, mobility and thermal performance according to product requirements.
01
Down Migration Control
We optimize shell fabric, lining, baffle construction and seam details to help reduce down migration and maintain consistent insulation distribution throughout the garment.
02
Insulation Construction Engineering
We optimize baffle dimensions, quilting patterns, insulation placement and construction details to achieve consistent insulation distribution while controlling garment weight, bulk and thermal performance.
03
From Insulation Development to Scalable Production
Insulated outerwear requires consistent control of insulation distribution, fabric construction, quilting, baffle dimensions and workmanship throughout production. We translate approved product specifications into standardized production processes, supported by process control and quality inspection to maintain repeatable thermal performance across high-volume programs.

-Thermal Construction & Insulation Distribution
We optimize insulation placement, baffle dimensions and quilting construction according to product requirements. These solutions help maintain consistent insulation distribution while balancing warmth, garment weight, mobility and overall construction integrity.
-Material & Insulation Performance
We select insulation, shell fabrics, lining materials and functional finishes according to the performance requirements of each product. Depending on the program, we can support material solutions designed for thermal retention, moisture resistance, durability and weight reduction, with applicable bluesign® approved materials and PFC-free finishes available
where required.
-Thermal Performance Testing & Validation
Our testing capabilities support product development and performance validation across relevant thermal and physical properties. Depending on product requirements, testing may include down leakage, insulation loft and recovery, thermal resistance (CLO), dimensional stability and construction durability. Test results provide technical feedback for material selection and construction refinement before bulk production.
