Q: What is continuous filament insulation?
A: Continuous Filament insulation uses hundreds of thousands of continuous strands of polyester in a natural interlocking solution without using any chemical treatment. The advantages are:
- Durability – Continuous filament does not pull apart when stretched. It doesn’t clump, shift or separate with repeated use or washings.
- Resiliency – Continuous filament is highly compressible, yet maintains its original shape after use or prolonged storage.
- Warmth When Wet – Continuous filament maintains warmth, even when wet, without impeding moisture permeability. It prevents a clammy feel during use.

A: CLIMASHIELD manufactures continuous filament products under the following brands: HL, APEX, CL, Combat, Prism, GREEN, HL GREEN and Elite.

Becoming entirely GREEN means that eco-conscious raw materials must be available in the marketplace. Depending on these materials, CLIMASHIELD hopes to become entirely GREEN in the next 3-5 years.
