What is Comfort Mapping

COMFORT MAPPING

In traditional clothing, the garment liner is a one-dimensional piece of fabric that treats the varied thermal requirements of different parts of the body the same. At KLIM, our Comfort Mapping Technology allows us to create a garment liner that meets the specific needs of each region of the body. Since we understand these differing needs, we carefully integrate varying degrees and types of insulating materials into strategic areas of the clothing. This helps effectively manage the body’s thermal requirements by allowing better breathability in those areas that need to breathe, and better thermal protection in those areas that need to be protected. This ensures you will experience the most comfortable temperature level in any condition without sacrificing mobility.

ANAT AND PHYS

The body is very
sophisticated
when it comes to
controlling and
regulating its thermal
requirements. Different regions of the body play different roles in this regulation. Some parts are designed to allow heat to escape while others insulate and protect vital organs from excessive cold. The goal of Comfort Mapping is to understand these requirements and design clothing that enhances the body’s natural processes.

THREE LAYER TECHNOLOGY

Three Layer Construction plays a vital role in applying comfort mapping to the clothing. A three-layer fabric is made up of three different pieces of material that each have a specific purpose. These three layers are laminated together to form on integrated piece. The outer fabric or face fabric is usually a durable piece of nylon that protects the riding gear. The middle layer is a GORE-TEX® membrane that is durably waterproof and breathable. The inner layer or backer is where a user really benefits from Comfort Mapping. A thicker inner layer is used in areas where the body needs more insulation. Likewise, a thinner material is used in areas that tend to build up a lot of heat. With this exclusive KLIM technology, we are able to control the thermal properties of the garment and create the world’s most comfortable, technical and durable piece of gear.
