Technical outerwear requires precise engineering to balance thermal protection, mobility, and durability. As specialists in performance apparel manufacturing, Ludyway implements ASTM F2732 standards across all jacket production, utilizing advanced insulation technologies and seam-sealing techniques that maintain functionality at -30°C while accommodating diverse body proportions.
Technical Jacket Classification System
Premium outerwear is categorized by insulation type, face fabric composition, and intended use:
-
