The PrimaLoft Insulation Rise is warm, stylish, and versatile insulation. The construction of the insulations allows for it to be used in everything from bulky sprays to think and lightweight pieces. Over 50 global brands have welcomes the insulation for their fall collection, including Adidas Terrrex, Helly Hansen, Hugo Boss, Joe Fresh, J.Crew, Lululemon, Ripzone, and Yeezy Gap.
The PrimaLoft Insulation Rise first hit the market in 2020 and quickly became one of the fastest-growing products in the company, Sourcing Journal reported.
“PrimaLoft Rise is an excellent example of our ‘relentlessly responsible’ mission to raise the bar for performance and sustainability through innovation,” said Tara Maurer Mackay, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy. “The product’s unique construction provides a lightweight warmth that is extremely durable and resists compression across an incredible variety of thicknesses and weights. This allows us to provide brands with a product they can use to design everything from a lifestyle puffer or tech outer jacket to a cozy sleeping bag or quilt. Many of our partners have been excited about the versatility of the PrimaLoft Rise.”
The new PrimaLoft Rise is a vegan alternative and is made with at least 80 percent post-consumer recycled content. The alternative reduces the environmental impact of clothing and saves countless animal lives!

Much like our food, it’s easy for many to forget where their clothes come from. Animals are far too often exploited and misused in the fashion industry. When fashion literally kills, it’s time for us to begin educating ourselves and the public about how animals are exploited in the fashion industry and what we can do to change the horrifying realities. There are so many great alternatives to all of these materials that don’t require anyone to lose their life.
Sign this petition to demand major fashion brands like Prada, Versace, Armani, Michael Kors, Zara, H&M, Coach, Chanel, and more replace animal leather with plant-based alternatives!
