LESS IS WARM
Our patented SOLARCORE® insulation lets you remove the excessive bulk and layers that slow us down, letting you fully engage with our environment.
SOLARCORE®
HOW WE BROUGHT A HARD AND BRITTLE SPACE-AGE MATERIAL DOWN TO EARTH AND TURNED IT INTO SOMETHING SOFT, WARM AND WEARABLE.
Aerogel is a NASA-developed technology used to insulate spacecraft at -450°F. We know you don’t need that kind of protection here on earth, but by combining its thermal properties with flexible foam that warms without bulk, we created SOLARCORE®—the most scientifically innovative insulation technology in the galaxy (as far as we know).
WARMTH WITHOUT BULK
We pioneered a breakthrough technology that lets us make outerwear that looks and feels different. Because SOLARCORE® insulation is extremely flexible and ultra-thin we can offer slimmer silhouettes. And because of its superior thermal performance you stay warm and comfortable in fewer layers. It’s our zero-bulk approach to warmth.
APPLIED SCIENCE
We strategically apply our SOLARCORE® insulation technology in thermal zones. This body-mapping allows us to optimize its unique thermal advantages and retain its ground-breaking warming properties while also increasing mobility and performance. The result is all-day comfort without ever sacrificing warmth.
Learn How It Works
Ground breaking Aerogel technology used by NASA is 99.8% air, because it is almost completely composed of trapped air it provides unparalleled thermal performance.
See It In Action
Even under a storm of liquid nitrogen (-321°F / -196°C), OROS jackets maintain internal temps of 89°F / 32°C.
How It Compares
SOLARCORE® is extremely flexible and ultra thin. Just 2mm of SOLARCORE® can warm more effectively than typical overstuffed down and synthetic jackets. It’s a bulk-free approach to warmth.
Materials & Technologies
RECYCLED POLY
By reducing the use of virgin petroleum-based materials recycled polyester helps us greatly reduce CO2 emissions.
PFC-Free DWR
Polyfluorocarbons (PFCs) are good at repelling water, but bad for the environment. That’s why we use PFC-free DWRs.
Feather-Free
SOLARCORE® insulation is a completely vegan-friendly, cruelty-free alternative to down-filled jackets.
4-Way Stretch
Move freely through your world with enhanced performance, all-day comfort, and optimal range of motion.
CLOSED-CELL FOAM
SOLARCORE® insulation is a closed-cell foam that never sheds harmful microfibers into the environment.
