ORSS 19 – Eigerjoch Lightweight Insulation from Manmut
Thursday, January 31st, 2019ORSS 19 – P1G-TAC Frogman Range Shirt
Thursday, January 31st, 2019During my visit with Polartec I saw an interesting shirt. The Frogman Range Shirt from Ukrainian company P1G-Tac. Granted, the shirt has some interesting features like padded shoulders and elbows as well as a shawl collar, but the real magic is in the Polartec Delta fabric.
Intended to keep you cool, I fully admit was skeptical when I first heard about Delta. But then I bought a t-shirt from Triple Aught Design and it works. This is thanks to the fabric’s construction.
Delta’s specialized knit construction uses both hydrophobic and hydrophilic yarns for more advanced control of moisture dispersal. These patent-pending radiating knit structures keep you cooler in hot conditions by increasing airflow to dissipate heat.
The inside of the Delta fabric has what looks like a raised structure and where it contacts the skin is how the moisture is pulled away.
That structure also means that the entire shirt won’t get soaked and it won’t stick to your skin.
By the way, Polartec is on the verge of releasing a No Melt-No Drip version of Delta, very soon.
ORSS 19 – Beyond K8 Falcon S Parka Set
Thursday, January 31st, 2019Designed for use in arctic extremes Beyond’s K8 Falcon S Parka Set relies on several material layers to keep you warm.
These layers are built with GORE WINDSTOPPER and Polartech Alpha Gold Insulation. The insulation regulates temperature, retains heat when wet, and dries much faster than down, while the outer Lutra layer provides a totally windproof, yet extremely breathable membrane. Even better, they’ve mapped the Lutra in the highest areas of exposure, to prevent convective heat loss. The torso has a higher level of breatheability to ensure moisture management in areas of high perspiration. You can somewhat see that mapping in this photo of the rear of the parka.
Details:
• Helmet compatible, insulated hood with adjustments
• Finnish Fox fur ruff (sold separately)
• Chest pocket hidden under center front flap
• Inner zippered chest pocket
• D-Rings at chest and sleeves for accessory attachment capabilities
• Covered, zippered hand pockets
• Hook and loop wrist adjustment
• Built-in softshell cuff with thumbholes
• Extended back hem drop with adjustable cinch
Above you can see the high waist of the trouser and integrated suspenders. The trouser also features covered side chest and hand pockets, covered front-to-back zip-through crotch panel, full side vents with double wind flap, articulated knees and a scuffguard on each inside leg.
Although the trousers are only available in Manatee Grey, the parka can be had in both Rescue Red and Manatee.
