When used in a garment, Ecodown Fibers Genius allows the fibers to intertwine, thus creating an even and stable layer of insulation. This specially engineered structure of fibers minimizes cold spots and clumping. In addition: After washing it becomes up to 10% warmer.

Thermore researchers defined it a hybrid between free fibers and rolled insulation, bridging the gap between the two products. This special construction also boosts durability and makes it super easy to use – it can be blown in baffles, panels, and even hand stuffed. It can also be used with custom patterns and squares (plaid construction).

  • Based in Milan, Italy, Thermore is specialized in research, development, production and marketing of high quality thermal insulation for apparel. Through its global sales network and its productions in the Far East and in Europe, Thermore caters to the several brands in the outerwear industry. Thermore was the first company to launch a sustainable insulation in the 80s and is now highly concentrated on eco-friendly innovation, mostly using polyester fibers recycled from PET bottles.
