The Löffler vest Primaloft Mix hotBOND® was awarded as test winner comfort by the magazine Bergsteiger during the purchase advice on insulated vests. 8 vests were tested as weather protection during strenuous activities and as thermal vests for breaks in the transition periods. The criteria were thermal insulation, wind and water resistance, neck/head protection and pockets.
The Löffler vest scored particularly well due to the elastic, vapour permeable side inserts and the good weather protection: “Comfortable weather protection for activities. The surprisingly warming cuddly vest offers a well thought-out combination of weather protection with super sealing and vapour dissipation in the right places. Optimal for not too intensive winter activities and downhill skiing, also as a thermal vest”, was the conclusion of the testers.
The hotBOND® quilting was also particularly highlighted: These are welded, which means that no needle and thread penetrate the high-quality functional material, reliably preventing cold bridges.
The test can be read in issue 2/2019 of Bergsteiger magazine.
