Comparison of G-Loft and Primaloft Before the emergence of excellent synthetic insulation materials like Primaloft, down had weaknesses such as being vulnerable to moisture and water. For military and police departments frequently operating in damp environments, there was a pressing need for an alternative insulation material that could offer insulation comparable to down, yet resist moisture, and even maintain strong insulation properties after getting wet. This demand prompted the creation of Primaloft. Primaloft is a high-efficiency insulation material developed for the US Army, specifically designed to address the failure of traditional insulation materials due to moisture in cold regions. Primaloft, with its lightweight, compressibility, and down-like insulation capacity, combined with low raw material costs and durability, quickly gained market attention. The hollow fibers of this material are fine and complex, forming countless air chambers that trap body heat while having natural water repellency. Even if the outerwear is soaked through, Primaloft can still maintain a high degree of insulation, a benefit unmatched by down. Primaloft products are categorized into Gold, Silver, and Black standards, with increasing insulation effectiveness.
G-LOFT G-LOFT, also known as "G cotton," is launched by the famous Austrian company Carinthia. This material is renowned for its excellent insulation and comfort under extreme conditions. The biggest advantage of G-LOFT over Primaloft is its durability; G cotton has a "memory function" that maintains its original structure and excellent performance even after multiple washes or use in harsh outdoor environments. Whether in the city or outdoor environments, G-LOFT provides excellent thermal insulation and regulation capabilities.

Background Introduction on EVA Material
The American company DuPont developed a high-quality plastic material called EVA in the 1960s. After years of technological innovation and development, this material has been widely used in various industries, such as shoe manufacturing, flooring production, sports equipment, and products.
Superior Performance of EVA Soles
EVA soles are made from EVA material, and their excellent performance ensures their widespread application. They feature outstanding resilience and tensile strength, as well as high toughness. Additionally, EVA soles are highly regarded for their excellent shock absorption and cushioning properties.
This type of material has efficient insulation and cold-resistance characteristics, maintaining excellent performance in low temperatures. Its non-water-absorbing trait and resistance to moisture and water allow EVA soles to perform excellently against seawater, grease, and acidic and alkaline environments, exhibiting strong resistance. Furthermore, EVA material is commendable for its antibacterial, non-toxic, odorless, and pollution-free qualities.
Unique Material Characteristics
From its softness to its elastic-like elasticity, EVA maintains good flexibility even in low-temperature environments. Additionally, it has high transparency and surface gloss while maintaining chemical stability, and it has properties of aging resistance and ozone resistance.
EVA also has good non-toxicity and blends well with various fillers, demonstrating excellent performance in coloring and molding processing.
Competition among top outdoor technology materials in North America and Europe continues fiercely, concluding here for now. We look forward to your comments and discussions.
