SoWarm Technology Elevates Versatility of Travel Apparel

Innovative S^oWarm Technology provides layering system to keep travelers warm and comfortable

For 30 years, ExOfficio® has helped people experience the magic of travel through the design of innovative apparel, giving travelers the confidence and freedom to explore the world.  For fall 2017, ExOfficio has elevated the versatility of travel apparel with the expansion of S^oWarm Technology to keep travelers warm and comfortable during cool weather travel.

When visiting cool weather climates, travelers are often challenged to accommodate bulky, heavy layers needed to stay warm. To help travelers stay warm with minimal bulk and without sacrificing personal style, ExOfficio is expanding its offering of apparel styles that utilize S^oWarm Technology, which actively creates and stores warmth.

“Keeping warm and comfortable means the traveler can spend more time exploring their destinations,” said ExOfficio General Manager, Brian Thompson. “We want travelers to feel empowered to visit cool weather locations and our S^oWarm pieces allow them to pack less yet do more.”

S^oWarm technology is a family of adaptive performance yarns and fabric treatments that provide a high warmth to weight ratio that keep the traveler warm and comfortable. These innovative treatments are designed into garments to provide the traveler with the right technology for each layer of their outfit.  First layers have S^oWarm technology that converts water vapor from the body to thermal energy.  Second layers work to trap body heat without bulk, and outer layers provide warmth through insulation even when wet.   Additionally, ExOfficio has incorporated IR reflection technology into all layers of the S^oWarm collection to trap body heat and reflect it back to the skin.

Highlights from ExOfficio fall 17 S^oWarm collection include:
