Referred to by the manufacturer as a "gear freak's dream," Pertex Quantum fabric is a true featherweight fabric at around 30 grams per square meter. Pertex Quantum features fine yarns to maximize thread count, and its tear and seam strength yield an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
The proprietary, ultra-fine fibers of PrimaLoft insulation form a tight collection of air pockets that trap heat from your body and keep out the cold, providing an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. The fibers were developed to be water-resistant to stay drier and maintain insulating properties, and they create a tight surface tension that won't allow water to pass through the insulation. Specially developed fiber finishes repel water and help keep you dry even if water is forced into the insulation. To maximize comfort, the PrimaLoft fibers have been engineered to be ultra-fine and compressible and mimic the softness of goose down.
