One
of the core philosophies at Thermore is that the product should remain
structurally stable over the life of the garment. If the insulation is
allowed to break down, then the product becomes less thermally efficient- and
also becomes prone to the problem of fiber migration. Essentially,
fiber migration occurs when the polyester fibers that comprise the insulation
are able to destabilize from the structure and find their way through the
lining or shell of your outerwear. This can quickly give the garment a sub-standard appearance and also cover mid-layer clothing with an assortment of
unsightly fibers.
Thermore has solved
the issue of fiber migration with a proprietary finishing process that
keeps the polyester fibers stabilized during normal wear and machine washing.
This ThermoreŽ safeguard is achieved without the use of a scrim, which adds
cost, negatively effects the hand, and is only a short term solution.
This
is another example of built-in ThermoreŽ technology that enhances the quality
of the end product.
