Climashield insulation to help US army battle bitter cold

Featuring the most technically advanced materials and innovative garment design, the GEN III system consists of seven layers for protection against a broad spectrum of environmental conditions - from intense cold weather scenarios in excess of minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit to warm, dry or wet weather at or over 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Made in the U.S.A., Climashield APEX is featured in Layer VII, which includes a parka and trousers for use in extreme cold weather during static operations.

"We have been working with the tactical requirements of the military for over 30 years, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to provide best-in-class insulation that is manufactured in the U.S.A.," said Matt Schrantz , chief operating officer at Climashield. "When tested, our insulation sets itself apart from the competition by consistently delivering greater warmth at lighter weights, while also maintaining that same warmth and shape after multiple uses. It's what we call Durable Warmth."

Suited for outerwear applications, Climashield APEX is the most thermally efficient synthetic insulation on the market today, offering the highest warmth to weight ratio in the industry, durability for maintaining warmth over time and AquaBan technology for warmth in wet conditions. Currently, the U.S. military utilizes Climashield in a variety of sleeping bags and outerwear applications.

Over the next three years, Climashield will supply insulation for over 120,000 GEN III Layer VII parka and trousers per year.
