The Difference Between Base and Perforated Insulation

We’ve developed an insulation achieving outstanding results in scientific breathability and warmth tests, how ever our insulation is available in two options: Base and Perforated. So what's the difference?

Our base insulations are a high performance insulation combining breathability and warmth with luxury touch. Officially designed and developed for military apparel meaning, Base Insulation provides a consistently high warmth value whilst excelling in breathability values in comparison to many other insulations. Its washable composition ensures suitability for the most technical insulated clothing ensembles. With 80% recycled composition, this is also a sustainable insulation for your apparel. How ever it gets better with addition of  Perforations

As well as the mentioned benefits of our Base insulation, Perforated insulation has the additional benefit of our patented Perforations technology - these are small apertures specifically sized and places within the insulation, increasing the breathability of the insulation by up to 30% whilst maintaining warmth. This unique technology allows moisture vapor to move away from the body so the wearer can remain comfortable for a longer period of time. The apertures are big enough to allow moisture vapor to escape, yet small enough to retain the warmth, providing the perfect balance between breathability and warmth.

The difference between Base and Perforated insulation

We’ve just launched our warmest and most breathable insulation yet. Achieving outstanding results in warmth and breathability, this insulation is currently available in two options: Vivo and Vivo perforated. So what's the difference?

Our base insulation – Vivo synthetic – is a high performance insulation combining breathability and warmth with luxury touch. Officially designed and developed for military apparel, Vivo provides a consistently high warmth value whilst excelling in breathability. Its washable composition ensures suitability for the most technical insulated clothing ensembles. With 80% recycled composition, this is also a sustainable insulation for your apparel.

With all the benefits of Vivo, Vivo Perforated has the additional feature of patented perforations (holes within the insulation) which increase the breathability of the insulation by an additional 30%! This unique technology allows moisture vapor to move away from the body so the wearer can remain comfortable. The apertures are big enough to allow moisture vapor to escape, yet small enough to retain the warmth, providing the perfect balance between breathability and warmth.
