LAYERS: LAYERS:
It is manufactured with 200gsm of insulation as follows:
1. The outer CORDURA ® fabric which is windproof and has a great tough feel for durability.
2. The inner middle layer is 100gsm THINSULATE (TM) made by 3M. The unique microfibres of ThinsulateTM Insulation are about ten times smaller than the fibres of most other synthetic insulations, which means they’re much more efficient at trapping air, and more effective at keeping you warm. It also means more fibres can be packed into the same space, where they can reflect back more of the body’s radiant heat without being bulky.
3. The middle layer is 100gsm POLYFILL QUILTING. This is a superior insulating material which is designed to retain body heat as much as possible.
4. The suit lining is black POLYESTER, which is dyed using only azo free materials in the production process.
Typically, this suit is perfect for use in open cockpit microlights at altitudes of up to 10000 feet. Many high altitude paraglider pilots and other leisure aviation pilots also find this top of the range suit to be ideal. It has the following four layers:
