Responsible Down Standard (RDS) & bluesign® approved Down
We are proud to announce that we use only down (including feather) that is certified under the Responsible Down Standard, RDS. This means that a third party (Textile Exchange) has made sure that the down has been produced with the best animal welfare in mind from when the eggs hatch in the farm. The animals have been bred in accordance with the ‘five freedoms’ during their entire life, no force-feeding has been allowed, slaughter intended for food-industry has been performed in a correct way and thereafter the down has been collected as a by-product.
The RDS down undergoes rigorous cleaning via multiple washes in biodegradable, environmentally friendly detergent and with recycled water; all in accordance with the bluesign® standard. Third party testing shows that the down consistently has a high turbidity (10000mm+) and low oxygen count (1.5-3.2%); making our down the cleanest and most allergen-free down available.

Water-Resistant Down – HyperDry™ ECO Down
To ensure the warming properties and the performance of the RDS down (see above) even in humid conditions we have added a fluorocarbon free DWR (durable water repellent) called HyperDry™ ECO treatment to most of our already great down!
To reach top-of-the-line water resistance the down is undergoing a bluesign® approved treatment using fluorocarbon-free chemicals, which makes it very water resistant. Tests show that the HyperDry™ ECO down proves to be drier than synthetic insulation and up to three times more water resistant than some competitors’ water repellent down.
The HyperDry™ ECO down comes in 800, 700 & 600 CUIN fillpowers. Fillpower information, whether HyperDry™ ECO has been added etc is provided within the information for each specific product.
The QuadFusion™ family
Any day can bring a new adventure in a different environment, with changing demands on your body and equipment. The Haglöfs QuadFusion™ family of synthetic insulation has several members, each providing a different level of temperature protection. All have the QuadFusion™ signature characteristics: it stays warm even when wet; it’s extraordinarily lightweight and efficient, yet ultimately suitable for the coldest conditions; and it is easy to care for and highly packable. At Haglöfs, we do our very best to reduce our ecological footprint, so QuadFusion™ is made entirely from bluesign® approved recycled/recyclable polyester, helping to Take Care® of the environment for tomorrow’s adventures.
QuadFusion™
QuadFusion™ is made completely from bluesign®-approved material and recycled/recyclable polyester. QuadFusion ™ is a very versatile insulation alternative. Great warmth-to-weight ratio is achieved by using hollow-fiber that is crimped into a spiral shape – maximizing the air-trapping ability and subsequently the warmth, while at the same time keeping the weight down. Recycled content: 50%. bluesign® approved.
QuadFusion+™
QuadFusion+™ Using state-of-art crimped hollow fiber surrounded by multichannel fibers with excellent wicking capacity; this insulation has then been engineered into fine layers to maximize the individual fiber benefits. QuadFusion+™ is a great alternative for a range of activities where you need a thermal barrier as well as ability to stay dry – even during high-intensity activities. Warming you when you feel cold; cooling you when you overheat. Recycled content: 100%. bluesign® approved.
QuadFusion™ Pro Powered by Pinneco®
QuadFusion™Pro is the most advanced insulation in our QuadFusion™ family.
Its revolutionary design featuring a unique structure of functional insulation layers with a perfectly balanced blend of various performance fibres fused onto the highly moisture wicking and breathable CoreScreen™ membrane provides exceptional warmth to weight, a superior heat-retaining capacity and protection against the elements – while at the same time keeping you comfortably dry. Each of the layers in the QuadFusion™+ construction has its specific purpose and contributes to the superior performance.
The inner layers of the insulation are designed to transport moisture away from the body to the outer layers and to trap body heat. The very breathable membrane helps to reflect residual heat back to the body, enables the moisture transport to the outside of the membrane where it easily can evaporate and at the same time gives the user extra protection against wind and moisture from the outside. The CoreScreen™ also improves longevity of the insulation since it is fused onto the insulation and ensures that the fibres cannot migrate or break, as may occur in conventional insulation alternatives. Recycled content: min 50%, 100% recyclable bluesign® approved polyester.
QuadFusion™ Mimic
QuadFusion™ Mimic is a highly innovative synthetic insulation that brings the best of two insulation worlds – down and synthetics – together! Its loose synthetic fibre clusters provide the light, lofty feeling that usually only a down garment can provide but now with the benefits of a synthetic material: easy care, ability to keep you warm even when wet and completely made from man-made sustainable material.
The synthetic insulation QuadFusion™ Mimic offers warmth similar to a good quality down, is highly compressible and it reaches its full performance quickly after being unpacked. With its polyester content QuadFusion™ Mimic is from a sustainability point of view as well a superb choice.
LAVA™
LAVA™ is a bluesign® approved anti-odor treatment based on minerals borne from volcanic ash. It adsorbs and then captures odors – it doesn’t neutralize or mask it. LAVA™ then releases the odors during the wash/dry cycle and it’s ready to go again.
