The UF PRO MultiCam® Low Temperature Line consists of upgraded versions of four existing UF PRO products:
• Delta AcE Plus Gen.2 Winter Tactical Jacket
• Delta OL 3.0 Winter Tactical Jacket
• AcE Winter Combat Shirt
• Hunter FZ Gen.2 Softshell Jacket (available later this year)
Each of the four in its upgraded form is designed for use in conditions from mild to well-below zero degrees Centigrade; additionally, the new MultiCam fabric, from which the quartet is constructed, promises significant performance advantages such as greater durability and a dramatically lower noise signature, according to Armin Wagner, UF PRO’s head of product development.
“This new MultiCam fabric allows wearers to operate more comfortably and efficiently in extreme cold environments characterized by everything from icy winds to snow or drizzling rain,” said Wagner. “The material is a laminate,” he said. “The outer face-fabric is made of texturised, soft-to-the-touch, 100-percent polyamide that overlays a highly breathable inner polyurethane membrane. The outer layer is woven together by a special ripstop technique. Consequently, these garments last longer—they’re just way more durable, as seen in their greater resistance to tearing, peeling, and friction.”
The other major performance edge offered by the MultiCam Low-Temperature Line is its quietness, according to Wagner. “These upgraded garments make very little noise while the wearer is walking or running,” he said. “Normally, laminate material makes an unmistakable sound that can be easily heard. But this new MultiCam fabric, because of its composition and softness, doesn’t give off that telltale noise.”
The Delta OL 3.0 Tactical Winter Jacket is for the ultimate in cold-weather outerwear. It’s designed for scenarios where the wearer will be stationary for long periods in the worst possible weather conditions – such as high winds driving rain or snow. The elbows are also reinforced with CORDURA® nylon fabric for extra protection.
The Delta AcE Plus Gen.2 Winter Tactical Winter Jacket, meant to be worn when when engaging in strenuous activities in very cold conditions, features thermal-insulating G-Loft filling in the sleeves and 37.5™ microfleece as a lining.
The AcE Winter Combat Shirt is designed to be worn like a normal combat shirt, under a plate carrier or with a rucksack, but in the lowest of temperatures.
Later this year the company is going to add also the Hunter FZ Gen.2 Softshell Jacket to the MultiCam Low-Temperature Line-up.

Pioneering fabric developer Polartec announces the launch of its award-winning Polartec® Power AirTM – the first 100% recyclable and circular fabric technology engineered to reduce fiber shedding – through a special collaboration with Swedish sportswear brand Houdini and the Mono Air Houdi.
With a focus on sustainability for both brands, the Houdini Mono Air Houdi was created to address the issue of plastic and textile waste on a larger scale. At the forefront of the design is the revolutionary soft and smooth Polartec Power Air fabric technology. Seen as the next generation of fleece, the innovative platform offers advanced thermal efficiency by encapsulating lofted fibers within a multilayer, continuous yarn fabric construction. This highly durable and long-lasting mono material knit construction is completely circular and engineered to reduce microfiber shedding by 80%. With its cutting-edge outdoor performance, the jacket pushes boundaries both in terms of sustainability and functionality.
“Polartec Power Air is a step forward in reducing the environmental impact of what we make and wear,” says Steve Layton, President of Polartec. “This groundbreaking technology can be a real enabler for circularity. It’s processes and constructions like these which make circularity possible. And it’s designs like Houdini’s which help show the world how clothing can be made sustainably.”

Prometheus Design Werx introduces their Kepler Down Cardigan for Fall-Winter 2020. A follow up to their hooded version from 2019, the Kepler style is a collared version, packs down small for trail to travel, warm, light, and cut to fit under outerwear.
Made with state-of-the-art Dupont treated, water repellent, premium 800 fill power goose down that is 27 X more water resistant than untreated down, so the Kepler retains its thermal properties even if dunked or wet. Unique design details include an integrated stuff-sack storage camp pillow and detachable travel neck pillow, 6 pockets, a cozy brushed collar liner, and a 20D mini-ripstop nylon shell with DWR and Dupont Silvadur anti-microbial treatment.
The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:
“We created this collared style goose down mid-layer as a follow up to our hooded Tycho model and works perfectly as an insulating layer to be worn under any outerwear shell, or as alone as a light yet warm ‘shirt’ or ‘sweater’. From a comfort and performance perspective, there is nothing lighter, warmer and compressible than a down mid-layer. Down mid-layers allow the user to be unencumbered by excess weight; when not being used, they pack down smaller than any other technical mid-layer and can be easily stowed in a pack. We used a Dupont treated goose down fill, which is hydrophobic and makes it 27 times more resistant to water. It will even survive an accidental dunk and still insulate. While down jackets were never intended to be used as rain wear, the Kepler along with its DWR shell will allow the user ample time to shrug off the first minutes of rainfall to grab a waterproof shell to wear over and not lose its insulating capabilities. It’s the quality of make and design details that makes our goose down mid-layer stand out and be one of the best in its class, especially as this price point. We used premium 800 fill power goose down that is RDS certified, a DWR shell with anti-microbial Dupont Silvadur treatment, cozy brushed tricot collar liner, and expanded capabilities with its integrated camp pillow or travel neck pillow. From trail to travel the Kepler is a no-brainer, grab-and-go piece performance insulating mid-layer.”
The Kepler Down Cardigan is a part of Prometheus Design Werx’s PRO-Line of technical apparel. Available in Mission Gray, and Expedition Green.
The Kepler Down Cardigan will be available for purchase for $229.00 on Wednesday, October 14th, 2020 at 12:00pm PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
