    Technology:


    Climashield™
    Climashield™ HL: High Loft Climashield™ HL is an ideal insulation
    for sleeping bags. Offering high thermal efficiency, durability and water
    resistance in a high-loft material, continuous filament Climashield™ HL
    provides unparalleled warmth and comfort. Climashield™ Neo: A revolutionary new synthetic utilized by The
    North Face®, Climashield™ Neo is the first-ever commercially
    available, dual-density fill. That means it utilizes two deniers of fiber
    in one continuous filament. Larger fibers maintain loft and compaction
    resiliency, while the smaller fibers have a softer feel and the best
    heat-trapping characteristics. Neo’s resiliency sets a new benchmark for the outdoor industry.
    One test consisted of completely compressing the Neo fill in a lab through
    100,000 cycles. In the end, it regained 78 percent of original loft,
    substantially more than any previous synthetic fill used by The North
    Face®.Tests show that Neo also outperforms other synthetic fills in moisture
    categories. Each fiber is coated with a heat-activated finish that is
    exceptionally water repellent. Is indicated by a low evaporative resistance
    rating, Neo filament is less inclined to absorb water and actually facilitates
    vapor transportation away from the sleeper and out through the shell
    fabric. High thermal efficiency, durability and water resistance in a high
    loft material ideal for sleeping bag insulation.
    Climashield™ Prism: The North Face® presents another groundbreaking
    innovation. Climashield™ Prism is Neo’s genetic cousin and
    exhibits many of the same ultra-high performance qualities that make
    it the new top choice of synthetic fill for our bags. In rigorous tests
    against other synthetic fills such as Polarguard® Delta, fills were
    wetted and then the wattage necessary to maintain temperature was measured.
    Results showed that Prism required less wattage (i.e., energy) than any
    other fill, meaning that bags with Prism will maintain their temperature
    more easily when wet. Overall, Prism loses 15 percent less heat when
    wet. Further, deflection tests proved Prism to be softer to the touch,
    and pack-and-unpack tests showed it to be significantly more resilient.
