Thinsulate Insulation’s microfibres provide more fibres per square inch
How our unique fibres stop heat loss
Thinsulate insulation Fibres
Traditional Synthetic Fibres
Thinsulate insulation works by trapping air molecules between you and the outside. The more air a material traps in a given space, the greater its insulating value. Because the microfibres in Thinsulate insulation are far finer than other fibres, they trap more air in less space, which naturally makes it a better insulator. So we haven't repealed the laws of nature with our thin insulation; we've simply obeyed them better...to your advantage.

Thinsulate insulation is an entire family of products, specifically designed for virtually all weather conditions, from cool autumn days to Siberian winters. See the Clothes We're In Footwear, Hats and Gloves and Insulated Clothing.
My feet get cold
Here are some tips for keeping your feet as warm and comfortable as possible. Make sure that your boots fit properly and that you start with warm, dry feet and footwear. These are just some of the recommendations that you can read about above.

Guideline for Dressing Warm
The basic guidelines for dressing warm in cold weather are to cover all body parts, to stay dry and to dress in layers. Read about how Thinsulate insulation can help you dress warm.

The Physics of Insulation
What makes Thinsulate insulation so effective? It's all in the fibres. Insulations work in two ways: First, by trapping air. Secondly, by reflecting back the body's radiant heat. Read about the technology behind the brand.

What makes Thinsulate insulation so effective?
It's all in the fibres
The unique microfibres of Thinsulate insulation are about ten times smaller than the fibres of other synthetic insulations, which means they're much more efficient at trapping air...and much more effective at keeping you warm. It also means we can pack many more of them into the same space, where they reflect back more of your body's radiant heat.
Neither repeated machine washings nor dry-cleanings markedly affect the performance of Thinsulate insulation. Tests have shown, in fact, that Thinsulate insulation’s average “clo” remains relatively unchanged even after repeated cleanings.
Thinsulate insulation is the smartest choice if staying warm is important to you. When you compare equal thicknesses, the original "warmth without bulk" Thinsulate insulation offers almost one-and-one-half times the warmth of down, and twice the warmth of other high-loft insulation materials.
