Primaloft® was developed in 1983 to serve the needs of the U.S. Army, who desired a water resistant, synthetic alternative to goose down.

Shortly after, in 1989, the first commercially available PrimaLoft® insulated garment was manufactured by L.L.Bean.

In 1990, a New York Times article titled "Outdoor Wear: Sorting Out the Choices" ( Which you should read ) highlights a statement by Edward Howell, then L.L. Bean’s director of product development, featuring PrimaLoft® insulation as a high-loft synthetic alternative to down with similar performance dry, but superior performance wet.

Since then PrimaLoft® has gone on to become a major supplier of high performance, technical insulation for the outdoor industry.

The Primaloft® Black Series benefit: warm, soft, lightweight, breathable, comfort from post-consumer recycled materials.
