最近比较关注Primaloft的服装,坛子里也有不少同学关注,偶然在国外一个Fabric的技术网站上看到一篇介绍Primaloft的文章,觉得有意思,摘录部分。
第一段说道Primaloft的优点,老生常谈,略过。直接看第二段—“WHO USES PRIMALOFT?”
In addition to the United States Military, some of the top brands from around the world use PrimaLoft insulation in their high quality outerwear. Brands including Arc’Teryx, Brooks Brothers, Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS), Eddie Bauer, FedEx, Harley Davidson, Lands’ End, L.L. Bean, Marmot, Merrill, Nike, Orvis, Polo, Reebok, Sierra Designs, The North Face, and many more use PrimaLoft insulation in their outerwear garments.
PrimaLoft is also the luxury insulation of choice for comforters, pillows and mattress pads made by the world’s best home furnishing brands.
其中用到Primaloft的品牌大部分耳熟能详,其中的FedEX就是那个快递三巨头之一的联邦快递,难道他们也做服装?我想不会,可能是给员工的冬季服装中用,假如这样,FedEx的员工很幸福啊。其中还有两个主打体育用品的家伙Nike、Reebok,有意思的是在国内基本没有看到他们有Primaloft标志的服装,要么他们采用了却没有标注,要么是采用了Primaloft变成高端产品,没有在中国销售。
第三段也有意思,“PRIMALOFT IN THE OUTDOOR MARKET”,主要介绍Primaloft的产品,其中ECO可能大家有所了解,诸如TNF去年Redpoint的一款采用该纤维,但Primaloft还推出有点变态的叫Primaloft Yarn的系列产品,就是将Primaloft同Merino wool(美利奴羊毛)混合,满足那些户外舒适性变态者-文中称其为“outdoor enthusiasts”的需求,这还不够“变态”,Primaloft还推出Yarn的两个延伸产品-1、Primaloft ECO Yarn,30%的Primaloft+70% post consumer recycled (PCR) Fabric,2、PrimaLoft Cotton Blend Yarn,就是将Primaloft纤维同棉纤维“混搭”。同时满足“环保癖”和“恋棉癖”者(注:此处没有任何攻击环保人士和喜欢穿着棉制品者的意思),Primaloft这种将产品做到极致的精神让人佩服,这点,Gore公司有些类似,将来国内的纺织商有如此精神,我们就幸福了。第三段关于Primaloft Yarn原文如下:
PrimaLoft® Yarn is an optimal blend of PrimaLoft fibers and soft Merino wool which makes the yarn the ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts who demand performance and comfort. The hydrophobic properties of PrimaLoft and the hydrophilic properties of wool combine to form a dynamic “force field” to pull moisture away from the skin and push it out through the surface resulting in an ideal moisture management system providing dryness and comfort. PrimaLoft Yarn is being utilized across many applications, including socks, sweaters, accessories and blankets.
NEW! PrimaLoft has recently introduced two new yarns, PrimaLoft Eco Yarn, a blend of 30 percent PrimaLoft fibers and 70 percent post consumer recycled (PCR) fibers and PrimaLoft Cotton Blend Yarn, a blend of 45 percent PrimaLoft fibers and 55% cotton, resulting in high abrasion resistance, faster dry time and less moisture absorption than standard cotton.
最后给出原文URL,喜欢的同学可以去看看。
