OCTA INSULATION
"Zero-Gravity Insulation"
Design Inspiration
The OCTA® structure mimics the architecture of an octopus’s tentacle system —
flexible, dynamic, and complex. This isn’t just a visual analogy: the tentacle-inspired
radial grid structure helps regulate heat and moisture.
Structure
- 8-way radial fiber stack: Polyester fibers are arranged like spokes around a
hollow center, reducing weight and increasing airflow. - Touchpoints + Air Pockets: The network of tiny air pockets retains warmth,
while fast-wicking contact points rapidly move sweat and humidity away from
the body.
Performance Benefits
- 50% lighter than traditional fleece.
- Enhanced moisture management.
- Quick-drying and thermally efficient.
- Dry-air cushioning provides next-to-skin comfort
In essence, OCTA® insulation blends biomimicry, thermal engineering, and material science
into a lightweight, high-function textile ideal for demanding environments.
