Primaloft “Star Trail” Minimalist Hooded Puffer is an all-weather piece for modern urbanites. The Puffer builds on smooth transitions between city life and outdoor explorations, helping people connect deeper with nature—it fits all scenarios, from daily commuting to light outdoor trips, and performs well at -5 to 15 degrees Celsius.
The Puffer adopts nylon 66 small-grid fabric paired with 80g gold-label Primaloft insulation. Nylon 66 features closely arranged molecular chains and strong hydrogen bonding, delivering high strength and excellent wear resistance; with a 1.14g/cm³ low density, it achieves a light weight design, reducing wearing burden, while easily withstanding heavy fog, cold winds and light rain. This fabric also boasts excellent elasticity and wrinkle resistance—maintaining its shape despite repeated stretching—as well as chemical resistance and easy maintenance.
The nylon 66 fabric is windproof and breathable, and when combined with Primaloft loftier air-pocket fiber, it traps more heat with minimal heat loss—delivering 300% more warmth than traditional polyester fiberfill. Primaloft matches eiderdown in heat retention—it still delivers 90% of heat-trapping capability when damp, better catering to practical outdoor needs. The Puffer cuts weight by 30% compared to other puffers, striking a balance between lightness and warmth. Additionally, the gold-label Primaloft ACTIVE series offers 15% stretchability, and when paired with nylon 66's inherent elasticity, it enhances mobility—eliminating the need for a liner layer to ensure lightweight comfort during wear.
"Star Trail" Puffer applies innovative pocket design and details instead of big logos. It meets the "low-key but stylish" dressing needs of urbanites. The hood and hem drawcords, hidden pockets, and windproof stretch fabric at the cuffs are built-in designs. They maintain the overall minimalist look while ensuring practicality in wear.
The Puffer incorporates smart designs: 3D underarm panels and angled pockets. They boost the arms' forward swing angle to 170 degrees, addressing the movement limitations (like lifting hands or squatting) for those wearing traditional work jackets. The Puffer also works well with various layering styles, boosting flexibility and versatility across different activities. Besides, the Puffer uses 100% recycled gold-label Primaloft—which replaces traditional eiderdown and petroleum-based synthetic cotton—to reflect an eco-friendly and sustainable philosophy.
