OVERALL WINNER: DEVOLD – TINDEN SPACER JACKET

DEVOLD OF NORWAY

Tinden Spacer Jacket

DESIGN: DEVOLD DESIGN TEAM

CATEGORY: APPAREL

MOTIVATION FROM THE JURY

This year’s most innovative product comes from Devold. The wool midlayer Tinden Spacer Jacket. Due to its unique Spacer-wool-fabric that locks in a high amount of air, the Tinden Spacer Jacket is lighter than other wool pieces with the same warmth, dries quicker and regulates the body temperature better. The jury was also impressed with the design. “You can wear it while being outdoors or in the city and always look good”, says one jury member.

PRIMARY INNOVATION FEATURES

This is the first time the Spacer fabric has ever been combined with wool. The construction of Spacer makes it possible to showcase wool in a completely new, light-weight way. It provides an ultra-breathable mid-layer with the ability to regulate body temperature according to activity.

INTENDED SPECIFIC END USE

Mid-layer made for outdoor sports and recreation. Great insulation with light-weight performance. This makes wool also a first choice as a mid-layer when weight is a priority.

SPECIFIC FEATURES

The Spacer construction creates pockets of air for enhanced insulation. This innovative technology makes it possible for wool to compete with other garments with a high warmth-to-weight rate. This product keeps the natural wool properties like the ability to regulate body temperature and creates warmth even when wet.
