| Northern Outfitters® patented insulation technology, known as VÆTREX™,
has revolutionized extreme cold weather clothing. VÆTREX™ stands for
Vapor Attenuating and Expelling, Thermal Retaining insulation for
Extreme cold weather clothing. VÆTREX™ is soft, pliable, hydrophobic,
hypo-allergenic, and very efficient at retaining body heat. Unlike
other insulating materials, VÆTREX™ has permanent loft and will expel
body moisture. Northern Outfitters® clothing provides the best possible
cold weather protection. | Total Body Moisture Management - The insulation and fabrics in our
clothing are designed to perform like the fur and feathers on animals
found in extreme cold regions. In addition, the warmth of VÆTREX™
insulated clothing is not degraded by perspiration. Moisture vapor in
the form of perspiration is attenuated away from the body through the
fabric, and is then expelled into the outside atmosphere. Other
clothing insulation systems encourage body moisture to condense in the
garment, which dramatically decreases its useful warmth. Another
important feature of VÆTREX™ is its ability to handle external moisture
in extreme cold. |
