SIMMS AND PRIMALOFT® INSULATION EXPAND PARTNERSHIP FOR FALL 2014  

LATHAM, N.Y. (September 22, 2014) – PrimaLoft, Inc. (www.primaloft.com), the world leader in providing comfort solutions with high-performance insulations and fabrics, and Simms, the preeminent manufacturer of waders, outerwear and technical fishing apparel and accessories, have expanded their partnership for Fall 2014. Simms will increase its PrimaLoft® offerings with three men’s jackets, one men’s pant and one women’s jacket. The Fall 2014 line is now available at retailers across North America and online at www.simmsfishing.com.  

“PrimaLoft® is the only insulation on the market enabling fishing devotees to focus on their favorite passion and forget the forecast,” said Brandan Hill, senior director of product at Simms. “Our consumers gravitate toward PrimaLoft® insulated pieces because they see the value in the technology. They need versatile outerwear for cold and damp conditions, especially as they are outdoors for an extended period of time in varying weather conditions and climates; they need it to be lightweight and highly packable. PrimaLoft® performance insulation best serves our consumers and we are proud to have them as a partner.”

For men, the Kinetic Jacket combines best-in-class PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation with stretch-fleece in a hoody jacket for warmth without bulk. The redesigned men’s and new women’s Fall Run Jackets are ideal as layering pieces or standalones due to PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation’s water-repellent properties. The ExStream™ Jacket, featuring PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation Hi-Loft, is highly compressible for easy packing and has a fully customizable three-point cinch storm hood. Lastly, the comfortable PrimaLoft® insulated ExStream™ Pants for men deliver best in class warmth-to-weight performance when wet and convenient, drop-in style hand warmer pockets.
