| C Bear has successfully combined the incredible insulating properties of Thinsulate Type
C with a brilliant design for their latest thermal undersuit. One of the secrets incorporated in the construction is the clever technique of laminating the layers in a way that minimises the
migration of air across the layers. They have carefully avoided using a quilted design because they have found the stitching can reduce the thermal insulation by as much as 30%.

Added to this are the scientific facts that Thinsulate is about one-and-a-half times more insulating that feather-down and almost
twice as efficient as fibre-fill insulation of equivalent thickness.
The design includes the use of stretchy Lycra in strategic places to ensure ergonomic efficiency and mesh where controlled venting
provides effective air escape when ascending.
By exploiting scientific knowledge and making compromises, C Bear have produced a real winner with their Tricore thermal undersuit.
