PrimaLoft® Active

WHAT IS PRIMALOFT® ACTIVE?

PrimaLoft® Active is one of the latest innovations from the US manufacturer PrimaLoft®, which is known for its high-quality synthetic insulation materials. In contrast to the ‘classic’ PrimaLoft® insulation, often also referred to as “synthetic down”, PrimaLoft® Active is not padding but a functional material in its own right.
As a high-tech knitted fabric, PrimaLoft® Active mimics structures found in nature and thus ensures not only unique thermal performance, but also an extremely pleasant body climate, especially during high levels of physical activity. This makes it ideal for intensive and demanding outdoor activities such as (trail) running, hiking, mountaineering and cycling.
Martini Sportswear uses PrimaLoft® Active fabrics year-round in a variety of highly functional jackets and vests for women and men, mainly to be worn as a second or third layer.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIMALOFT® ACTIVE AND PRIMALOFT® GOLD INSULATION?

Unlike conventional synthetic fibre insulation such as PrimaLoft® Gold, the structure and function of which is modelled on the goose down frequently used in the outdoor sector, PrimaLoft® Active does not belong to the category of “synthetic down”. The high-tech material is not a classic padding, but a highly functional knitted fabric that can be processed as a fully-fledged, independent fabric. As a rule, however, PrimaLoft® Active is combined with an outer fabric.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PrimaLoft® Active is similar in structure to animal fur. It consists of fibres of different lengths and thicknesses, which create natural heights and depths in the material. When you are on the move, air can circulate perfectly in this open structure. At the same time, the irregular “hairs” of different lengths form many small air pockets that effectively store heat when you are standing still.

PrimaLoft® Active is highly insulating, breathable and temperature regulating. Thanks to the animal fur structure, which allows more air circulation than conventional insulating fabrics and at the same time actively warms, the strengths of the material come into their own especially well on cooler days during strenuous sporting activities. The fibre technology effectively dissipates excess body heat and moisture, creating a balanced body climate.
The material feels as soft as wool, is pleasantly light and not very bulky.
In addition, PrimaLoft® Active is free from animal materials, making it ethically sound and perfectly suitable for allergy sufferers.

PrimaLoft® Active clothing is very easy to care for and can be machine washed with liquid laundry detergent on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Spin drying is not recommended, but it can be dried on a low setting in the tumble drier. Detailed care and washing instructions can be found on the respective labels of all Martini Sportswear products.
