by zoning the body regions. Each body region has a different heat radiation behavior. Carinthia ISO Mapping® builds exactly on this and divides the body into different heat zones. The thicker layer of insulation is on the core (125g/sq m) and the thinner one is in the sleeves (80 g/sq m). The G-LOFT bi- component-fiber is permeated with a micrometer fine air channel. As a hollow fiber, it ensures as in nature the fur of polar bears, for optimum thermal insulation. The fiber consists of two different materials, which contract to varying degrees during cooling after the spinning process. This creates a spiral shape - like a spring - which is permanently fixed in the molecular structure. Due to the „MEMORY-EFFECT" the G-LOFT insulation returns always to its particularly warm, airy original shape. There is an additional screen of thin aluminum foil film which reflects warmth back inside. G-LOFT® features great elasticity and, consequently, good thermal insulation, good vapor permeability and low weight. G-LOFT® fibers do not absorb moisture, so the moisture might be easily released to the outer layers of the coat. After getting wet, insulation will not lose their insulation properties. G-LOFT® compresses pretty well and the flexibility of fibers makes the clothes quickly return to its original shape. This allows for maximum thermal insulation. MIG 4.0 was optimized for use in the temperatures up to -15C degrees. From the inside the jacket is lined with lightweight polyamide rip-stop fabric which is quilted for additional stability of the G-LOFT insulation, so the fibers will not move during use. This prevents the thermal gaps. Carinthia MIG 4.0 has the cut very similar to the previous gen. It is slightly oversized to be worn on other insulation layers. It is still a coat, not the parka, so the rear is just extended to prevent the wind. 4.0 CLOTHING
