It’s what’s inside that counts.
Octa Yarn Lining ™
The first secret of OctaTM Yarn lining can’t be seen with the human eye: it’s the sophisticated form, on a microscopic level, of the individual polyester fibres that make up the fabric. They have a hollow core together with a total of eight ‘side fins.’ In cross section the filaments have the appearance of a star – with a hole through the middle. This advanced, three-dimensional shape creates a huge amount of space around the filaments. This space traps a large volume of air – which in turn provides an insulating capacity that is far higher than a standard polyester fibre. The second secret – on a slightly larger, visible scale – is the way the OctaTM Yarns are applied to create the final lining fabric. They are knitted into a very open, thermally efficient waffle or honeycomb pattern. This construction combines with the microscopic form of the individual fibres to create a lining which is superbly breathable, incredibly light and, for its weight and packed volume, astonishingly warm. It’s the perfect choice for high-output, active wear.
The reduced weight and bulk of OctaTM Yarn lining means it’s far more packable than traditional fleece. It’s perfect for travel, hillwalking and any serious outdoor use.
