INSULATOR JACKETS

When dealing with various weather conditions it’s important to stay dry and warm. Our insulators offer warmth, windproof, and water-resistance. Insulators are great pieces as you can wear them during any outdoor activity. These jackets can be worn during the spring, fall, and winter. With our LifaLoft material, we are able to offer lightweight insulators making it easier for individuals to wear and bring them wherever they go. These jackets are perfect for layering during the colder months. We offer a wide range of insulator pieces for both men and women to fit your specific needs. Our insulators range from LifaLoft‘s to Down to Softshells. These insulators can come in vests, jackets, and long jackets.

TECHNOLOGY

LIFALOFT

Some of our insulators are made with our unique LifaLoft. LifaLoft is our collaboration with our Lifa technology and Primaloft insulation. Our LifaLoft products are 20% lighter than standard insulators.

Thanks to the LIFA® fiber structure, LIFALOFT™ insulation is lighter than standard insulation – allowing for maximum comfort and agility

The unique LIFALOFT™ insulation creates more air pockets giving more warmth at lower weight, compared to standard insulation

DOWN

Down is a great insulation material due to the warmth-to-weight properties. Down has been a popular choice for insulators. Every Down jacket has a tag stating the amount of fill in the product. Our Down is ethically sourced from geese and ducks that have not been live-plucked, force-fed, or subjected to unnecessary harm. The Down used in our products are also RDS-Certified and can be traced.

3-in-1 JACKETS

Our 3-in-1 jackets for both Men’s and Women’s allows you to wear a jacket year-round. The two pieces can be worn individually or zipped together. The outer layer offers 100% waterproofing while the inner layer offers insulation. This allows you to adapt to any kind of weather; spring and summer you can wear the outer shell. Then in the fall you can wear the insulator, and as we transition to winter you can add the two pieces together for a winter coat. Our insulators in the 3-in-1 jackets are made with Primaloft Black Eco. This insulation is made using 60% recycled materials.

    When protecting yourself during the summer most people think to just use sunscreen. However, an extra way to stay protected is wearing UPF clothing along with sunscreen. UPF, Ultraviolet Protection Factor, clothing reduces your skin’s exposure to UV radiation. Our UPF clothing ranges from UPF 30 – 50+. Our Sun Protection clothing ranges from hats, t-shirts, long sleeves, hoodies, and pants! While it is important to apply sunscreen especially for long summer days, wearing protective clothing allows you to stay active and keep enjoying your favorite activity in the height of summer. UPF clothing acts as an extra barrier against UV radiation and never wears off, but this only applies to the parts of the body that the clothing covers. When choosing which color to wear during the summer darker colors absorb UV rays best, which helps block them from your skin. That’s why dark colors are better than light colors for UPF protection.

All of our Solen products are made with S. Café® technology which provides 5x more UV protection than cotton. This technology, with a low-temperature, high-pressure and energy saving process, combines coffee grounds onto the yarn surface and changes the characteristics of the filament allowing the fabric to dry faster.

Since the fabric is constantly moving moisture away from the skin to the outer surface it allows the drying time to be up to 200% faster compared to cotton. This allows our products to keep you dry by having moisture management and breathability. S. Café® technology is able to absorb odors your body produces throughout the day keeping body odor under control!

]]>

The first Ocean Race was held in 1973, making this their 50th year running. The Ocean Race originally started at The Whitbread Race. The first race consisted of 19 teams. This year there are only 11 teams that are split into two groups. The Ocean Race is the ultimate test of sailing, being the world’s longest and toughest professional sporting event. These sailors have dedicated years/decades to winning this race. There are no breaks for these sailors as they work 24/7 going against anything the ocean throws at them to make it to the next destination first. The 2023 race is a five-month, 32,000-nautical mile long. It features a leg with the longest racing distance in the 50-year history of the event – a 12,750 nautical mile stretch from Cape Town, South Africa, to Itajaí, Brazil.  


There are two dynamic classes of boats: the IMOCA, a 60-foot single-hull yacht used by the five teams that sail worldwide. The other class is VO65, a 65-foot single-hull yacht used by the six teams racing three legs for The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint Cup. Both classes are capable of traveling over 600 nautical miles in 24 hours. To win, The Ocean Race is based on a scoring system, and points are awarded each leg for the number of entries. So, for IMOCA, 1st place gets 5 points, second place gets 4, and so on. For VO65, first place is awarded 6 points and goes down. However, Leg 3 and 5 teams are eligible to receive double points.  .
