3M THINSULATE
3M™ Thinsulate™ Insulation was invented to make living life in every season more enjoyable. Since then, we’ve chipped away at the boundaries and bulk that prevent pure, unbridled joy of the outdoors. The original thin, light and warm synthetic insulation. The more air a material traps in a given space‚ the better it insulates you from the cold outside air. Thinsulate™ is breathable, moist-resistant and machine washable. Thinsulate ™ is a trademark of 3M™
