Prana released its cold-weather active collection for Fall/Winter 2022.
The Alpine Air series and Insulo Stretch Hooded Jackets use PrimaLoft P.U.R.E Black technology which “reduces carbon emissions by 70 percent during the production process. This carbon offset is equivalent to more than 10,500 trees capturing a year’s worth of CO2 from the atmosphere.”*
“We have the opportunity to lessen our impact on the environment through responsibly made products and one way we do this is through innovative technology collaborations that promote a reduction in carbon emissions,” said Rachel Lincoln, Director of Sustainability, Prana. “PrimaLoft has been a long-time partner of ours and now its recycled insulation takes sustainability a step further with P.U.R.E. (Produced
Using Reduced Emissions) renewable manufacturing technology, which takes the most environmentally challenging part of production and refines the process to create a dramatic reduction in the environmental impact. We are excited to be partnering with the experts at PrimaLoft to add warmth responsibly, to our newest cold-weather product release.”
The Alpine Air series and Insulo Stretch Hooded Jackets for men and women are designed for everyday wear and can be worn as a stand-alone outerwear jacket or as a mid-layer under a rain shell. In addition to 60g PrimaLoft P.U.R.E Black synthetic fill insulation, they feature bluesign approved recycled fabric and are treated with a PFAS-free DWR. The Alpine Air Vest, Jacket and Hooded Jacket are lightweight and pack down into a pocket. The Insulo Stretch Hooded Jacket features a 4-way stretch for full range of motion.
The women’s Ice Flow line accompanies the brand’s debut into the cold-weather active space. Comprised of four styles—Long Sleeve Top, Half-Zip Top, Jacket ($140), and Legging, this series combines outdoor lifestyle with yoga/active and is suited as a second layer for cold weather wear.
