Does Thermoball keep you warm?
What Is Thermoball? The advantage Thermoball has over down insulation is its performance in wet weather. Clusters of down clump up when they get wet, and they become unable to trap heat and retain warmth. This doesn’t happen to synthetic insulation – it is able to keep you warm even when the synthetic fibers get wet.
