Winter gear needs to keep kids warm without weighing them down. At Northern Classics, we’re all about making gear that is cozy but doesn't slow your little ones down. That’s why we use PrimaLoft insulation—a material that’s become a real favorite around here.
If you haven’t heard of PrimaLoft yet, here’s the lowdown on why it works so well and why it might just change the way you think about winter outerwear.
What Makes PrimaLoft So Special?
PrimaLoft started as a military-grade insulation designed to keep soldiers warm in tough conditions. It’s made from tiny synthetic fibers that trap heat but don’t add bulk. Unlike traditional down, PrimaLoft stays warm even if it gets wet - something every parent knows is a big deal when snow and slush come into play.
Warmth Without the Puffy Jacket Feeling
You know how bulky winter layers can get? PrimaLoft lets us design jackets that are warm and lightweight at the same time. So kids get to move freely and stay comfortable, whether they’re running, climbing, or making the world’s biggest snowball.
That slim fit means no fussing with extra layers or feeling weighed down, which makes a huge difference when you’re chasing toddlers around or hauling sleds up a hill.
Breathable and Cozy All Day Long
Staying warm isn’t just about stuffing in insulation - it’s about managing moisture too. When kids play hard, they sweat. PrimaLoft’s breathable fibers help wick away that moisture so kids don’t end up cold and clammy after a few minutes outside.
It’s this balance of warmth and breathability that makes PrimaLoft a winner for active days in the snow.
Tough Enough for Real Life
Parents know that winter gear has to hold up. PrimaLoft insulation is durable, meaning it keeps its loft and warmth even after lots of washing and wear. Unlike down, it won’t clump or lose its fluffiness after a snowball fight or a trip through the washing machine.
That kind of durability means your kids’ gear will last through winter after winter - and that’s a win for everyone.
Why We Love Using PrimaLoft at Northern Classics
Our goal is simple: warm kids who can move easily and play hard no matter what winter throws at them. PrimaLoft helps us hit that mark. It’s lightweight, warm, and tough - exactly what you want when you’re layering up for snowy days outside.
