Post-Immersion Analysis and Technical Deep Dive

the swimming trunks were cold out of the gate let's take a look at how wet it got inside oh God it's freaking cold out here now this is going back on right away holy crap yeah um so this got wet back here I'm put the day I did this test it was 16° F so not bitterly cold but definitely not where you want to sit around soak and wet and enjoy the sun I'd love testing that back up I'm going tell you right now this is easily the warmest coat I've I've ever had not even close there's nothing that even comes close to this thing all right guys I've got Chad and he's one of the guys they they custom build these suits right down in albertly Minnesota but Chad how was I able to get out of the freezing water and be f afterward well our hydroflow technology and primaloft is really what benefits you in that situation uh we float you to the top it assists you in getting out of the uh hole that you're in back onto a sheet of ice and primaloft doesn't absorb water it retains body heat that's one of the big benefits and we use primaloft gold it absorbs no water and it retains your body heat so once you got out even though you were wet even though it was cold that water was 34 35° at most because the ice above it was at 32 and Frozen your body temperature starts to you know degrade it goes down and that's what kills people it's usually not a drowning effect it's the body core temperature going down but primaloft holds your body heat so even though you were wet once you got out and you were out of that solid state of cold 34 degree water your body is still at X temperature and that primaloft retains your body heat keeping you warm the windshield of the event laminate and that nylon material on the outside cuts the wind down so that primaloft on the inside of that jacket can hold your body keep you warm enough to get to safety okay so what is primaloft why aren't got more guys using primaloft I mean why isn't this in every every outdoor jacket out there then Chad there's a lot of people using primaloft you know you don't hear near as much about things like thin Slade anymore so proloft was invented by the military and there's even a an advanced military grade for proloff but on the consumer side there's a couple different levels primola gold is the highest and it's like 90% body heat retention a lot of places use proloff silver and it's really just a cost Factor Stanley um and we chose to go with the highest of the high and we did that in all of our components we did it with…
