Highlights to be showcased at ISPO 2020
comfortemp® fiberball padding
comfortemp® fiberball padding is an innovative and sustainable alternative to down. It is made of 70 percent recycled polyester derived from post-consumer PET bottles. Its high-performance, washable and fast-drying padding is very lightweight and offers excellent insulation – as well as great breathability.
This padding has an extremely high degree of thermal insulation, is easily compressed and yet quickly recovers its full volume, time and again. This enables enhanced insulation as greater volume allows more air to be trapped. Available on rolls, comfortemp® fiberball padding also prevents cold spots at the seams and fiber migration and makes processing easier.
comfortemp® Lyocell padding
comfortemp® TencelTM padding padding is a 100% biodegradable padding made of Lyocell, a cellulose fibre gained in an environmentally friendly production process from eucalyptus wood that comes from sustainable forestry. This innovation, which completely degrades in the soil in just within 57 days, was developed in cooperation with Lenzing, the renowned fibre manufacturer.
The padding is washable and quick-drying, lightweight, keeps the body warm, is soft and extremely breathable. Thanks to its excellent moisture management it minimises sweating. comfortemp® TencelTM padding is available on rolls, which makes it easier to process, prevents cold bridges at the seams and fibre migration through the outer fabric.
