For a long time we wanted to create a lightweight, insulating gilet – one that, tossed into a backpack or bag, won’t significantly change the weight of your luggage, and when the temperature drops, worn on the body, will give substantial, pleasant warmth.
The women's Primaloft Taiga gilet consists of two parts: the main one – insulating the chest and back, and elastic inserts sewn into the sides – thanks to them it fits the body perfectly and moves with you. We sewed in two really deep pockets fastened with a flat zip, as well as a large inner one – it will fit a phone (this trick – keeping your phone close to your body – comes in handy during severe frosts, which reduce battery level). The gilet is finished with a stand-up collar protecting the neck and nape from the wind.
When creating the Primaloft Taiga gilet, we wanted to achieve the best possible warmth-to-weight ratio that a material can provide. The outer part of the gilet (protecting the torso and back) is made from fabric produced using Ripstop technology (a similar one is used in the production of mountain hammocks and down jackets); the inside of the gilet is an elastic mesh lined with pleasant-to-the-touch insulating Primaloft squares from the Active EVOLVE series. The elastic inserts on the sides of the gilet are made from warm Thermo Pro knitwear that wicks moisture and adapts to the body's movements.
We wanted the gilet to be suitable for solid mountain routes, running and cycling, but also to fit smartly into an urban-sport style. I think we've got it, right?
At ATTIQ, we believe it is possible to create timeless clothing. We sew our collections so that they pair well with sportswear in various colours and prints. ATTIQ clothing is made in our workshop in the south of Poland. We sew using materials from the European Union.
