CIMALP Extreme Series High-Tech Cold-Weather Down Jackets
Product Advantages:
The CIMALP Extreme Series High-Tech Cold-Weather Down Jackets combine the fashionability of apparel with the functionality and practicality of outdoor clothing. The CIMALP Extreme Series is the only brand that applies high-performance outdoor extreme sports fabric to down jackets, a first in the Chinese domestic market, with only Arc'teryx, Kolon, and Ximalatu offering such products in the Beijing market. Its powerful windproof, waterproof, and warmth-retention capabilities fully shield against the harshness of outdoor cold.
CIMALP offers “special groups, special requirements, special designs, and special customization” based on different needs, while also conducting differentiated R&D according to international trends and regional conditions.
Functional Features:
1. Imported high-tech waterproof, windproof, breathable, and permanently anti-static fabric
Wearing regular down jackets in the rain often leads to soaking, loss of insulation, and increased weight over time. The outer layer of the CIMALP Extreme Series High-Tech Cold-Weather Down Jacket uses imported high-performance functional fabric for extreme sports, effectively blocking snow and rain intrusion while providing warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking. The fabric surface features an American DuPont Teflon treatment for water, oil, and stain repellency, preventing easy attachment or seepage.
In addition to being waterproof, windproof, and moisture-permeable, the biggest highlight of CIMALP’s functional fabric is the addition of permanent anti-static performance tailored for the Chinese market. The anti-static function of Ximalatu’s functional fabric starts from the source—anti-static materials are integrated during the fiber manufacturing process, forming a core-spun structure. This prevents the performance alteration seen in ordinary anti-static products due to environmental exposure or washing. During the post-finishing process, the best American anti-static agents are added, giving the fabric double-layered, lasting anti-static protection. This feature is unmatched by any other manufacturer in China. The anti-static effect of the CIMALP Extreme Series High-Tech Cold-Weather Down Jacket remains durable even after multiple washes. This technology was first designed and developed by CIMALP.
2. Premium Sealing Technology
Advanced outdoor garment techniques are applied to down jacket production—all seams are sealed using imported specialized equipment. After sealing the adhesive strips, all seams are further pressed with leak-proof equipment to enhance waterproofing and ensure 100% windproof and rainproof performance.
3. High-Tech Energy-Absorbing Heat-Reflective Insulation Material
Based on the firsthand experience of professional athletes, Ximalatu treats the inner lining close to the outer fabric with energy-absorbing heat-reflective insulation technology, utilizing the insulating layer created by the loft of the down to simultaneously store both down and body heat. This greatly enhances thermal insulation without the common drawback of poor breathability during physical activity. The fabric treated with heat-reflective technology gains 5 grams per square meter and improves insulation by 25%. This enhancement far surpasses the conventional methods used by other brands for body-contact insulation.
The breakthrough heat-reflective technology, combined with high-loft premium down and insulating materials, significantly boosts the warmth of the down jacket. Meanwhile, the metal film also conducts electricity, providing lasting anti-static properties.
4. Filling Material:900+ and 800+ loft white goose down, ultra-lightweight and warm, with 95% down content (in compliance with standard GB/T 14272-2011)
The inner layer of the CIMALP Extreme Series High-Tech Cold-Weather Down Jacket is filled entirely with premium white goose down. Goose down fibers are finer, softer, and longer than duck down, especially the longer fibers which improve loft and warmth while remaining completely odor-free.
5. Style and Craftsmanship Design
Specialized craftsmanship is applied to areas prone to down sagging—such as the hood, collar, pocket openings, and shoulders—ensuring a smooth, attractive appearance and preventing down from slipping.
The hood opening features a three-row Velcro strap for an enlarged attachment area, preventing snow and wind from entering the collar.
Cuffs are windproof and hand-protective, blocking wind and snow from entering through the sleeves.
The front closure uses a double zipper to enhance windproofing and warmth retention while allowing for adjustable tightness. The higher collar design effectively protects the cervical spine and can be pulled down for ventilation when needed. A woven tape is added around the zipper to prevent the zipper pull from damaging the fabric.
6. Detachable Down Liner
The detachable down liner is convenient to clean and highly practical.
CIMALP (Ximalatu) Quick-Dry Clothing
Introduction to YLY-TEX Moisture-Wicking & Quick-Dry Series:YLY-TEX moisture-wicking and quick-dry fabric is the latest internationally developed fabric that offers instant moisture absorption and rapid drying on the inner layer. This type of fabric is used in a full range of quick-dry products including short-sleeved T-shirts, sportswear, shorts, underwear, and socks.
The YLY-TEX moisture-wicking and quick-dry fabric utilizes a special layered structure: the layer closest to the skin is made from a new high-tech polypropylene (PP) fiber, while the outer layer is composed of moisture-absorbent polyester. After absorbing moisture, the fabric’s penetration speed is 0.3 seconds, and the skin-contacting side dries within seconds—extremely fast. Other quick-drying, moisture-absorbing materials take around thirty minutes, while cotton takes up to one hour. When the body sweats, it can instantly expel 100% of the absorbed sweat to the surface of the fabric, keeping the skin-contacting side dry and comfortable instantly, without any cold sensation. Most other similar products leave some sweat residue on the skin side, leaving both the inside and outside of the fabric wet, creating a damp, sticky, and uncomfortable feeling. Since PP fibers do not absorb sweat and offer no nutrients, bacteria and mold cannot survive on PP fabrics, giving them excellent antibacterial properties.
Main Features of the Fabric:
(1) Unidirectional Moisture Transfer: Directs moisture from the inside of the fabric to the surface, keeping the inner side consistently dry.
(2) Fast Drying: Allows moisture to rapidly spread through the fabric, which then quickly evaporates into the air.
(3) Cooling Effect: As moisture on the fabric’s surface dries quickly, it absorbs heat rapidly, creating a cool sensation on the skin.
(4) Comfort: The inner layer of the fabric remains dry, preventing the clothing from sticking to the body and ensuring a comfortable wear.
(5) Antibacterial & Easy Care: The inner layer has oil- and stain-repellent properties, helping isolate external contaminants and reduce bacterial growth, providing antibacterial and health benefits. Even if the outer layer gets dirty, it can be rinsed clean with water—easy to wash and maintain.
