Polyester insulation up to what temperature?

Before buying a warm winter outfit, most of the population pays attention to such important indicators as: safety, product weight, comfort, warmth, long service life and attractive appearance.

Some time ago, only natural insulation materials, such as down and wool, were considered the safest. The active development of technology leads to the fact that every year a huge variety of materials appear. This can be observed in warm outerwear.

What kind of insulation should you choose for a winter outfit for yourself and your child, so that it feels comfortable even at the lowest temperatures and strong winds?

Many modern people regularly face this question. The most important rule before purchasing is that if you hear an unfamiliar name for insulation, you should not rush; it is better to first learn about modern types of safe materials.

Many people remember that jackets and coats that used synthetic winterizer as insulation - it very quickly loses important properties and appearance. After the first wash, this filler formed into clumps and was almost impossible to even out. Sintepon has been replaced by new fillers: holofiber, Thinsulate and others:

Polyester insulation for the floor

Each manufacturer may indicate their own insulation names on the product label, which confuses buyers. But most often in the description you can see the inscription “100% polyester”. The composition of such insulation includes polyester fibers; its name depends on the production technology, as well as the material itself.

Not all parents know that children often get colds, not because they have weak immunity, but because their parents dress them incorrectly. Many mothers and fathers, and most often grandparents, believe that the child should be well wrapped up, tied with a scarf and put on a warm hat. It is much more important to buy high-quality outerwear with insulation that can withstand even the lowest temperatures.

How many degrees is polyester?

Thinsulate. Among all synthetic materials, it is one of the highest quality; its heat-saving properties can be compared with natural down. An outfit with Thinsulate retains heat perfectly even at the lowest temperatures - down to -35-40 degrees, provided that the person is on the move. Most often, this material is used to make outerwear for climbers or athletes. Jackets, trousers and overalls are very light, do not lose their properties and attractive appearance even after repeated washing.

Polyester insulationSintepon. This synthetic filler is divided into two types: dense (this is what was used in winter outerwear several years ago) and hollow (the modern look). Polyester fibers are joined together using a special thermal method. Dense synthetic padding was previously laid in layers parallel to each other, for this reason it quickly lost important properties - it allowed moisture to pass through, and bunched up after washing. In modern padding polyester, the fibers are connected to each other in a special way. The material holds its shape for a long time and retains heat perfectly. It is recommended to buy this outfit for late autumn or early winter. Maximum air temperature – 10 degrees:

Holofiber. Fibers in the form of balls or springs. Thanks to the cavities between them, the products keep their shape for a long time and retain heat perfectly. The main advantages of holofiber are: high protective properties against cold (can easily withstand temperatures down to -25 degrees), environmental friendliness and safety. Clothes with holofiber do not absorb moisture and air circulates well.

Isosoft – can often be found in modern winter attire. It also consists of fibers in the form of balls, between which there is a free cavity. This structure does not allow cold air to penetrate inside and retains heat for a long time. Very light material, can withstand temperatures down to -25 degrees, ideal for children's clothing.
