Milipol 25 – Wild Clothing
Wild is a new brand from Finland. They are poised to release a cold water clothing system which uses some great materials combined with excellent design.
This is the Taika TacDown insulated jacket. It’s intended to be worn from freezing down to single digits minus. Insulated with TACdown, it combines down with continuous filament materials, it offers all the natural advantages of down in the smallest profile. This is combined with Actibreath 37.5 Membrane and its activated carbon technology for moisture management and EMPEL DWR treatment which is PFAS free.
Features:
- Detachable hood with 3-way adjustment
- Collar with integrated wind skirt to block drafts
- Wild loop for attaching gloves or gear
- AMS Airflow ventilation system with zipper
- 7 outer pockets + separate internal phone pocket
- Velcro patches on both arms for customization
Offered in Green, Black, Stonegray, Olive, and Finnish M05 Woodland. Sizing is XS-3XL and they offer Men’s and Women’s versions.
While their initial offerings are clothing, they are working on other cold weather gear like sleep systems. For that application they are using LEANSulation which incorporates NASA developed Aerogel. While not breathable, it does not lose any insulation properties under pressure while the most natural or synthetic isolators are losing 40-60% of their insulation properties under high pressure. Imagine that in the bottom of a bag.
