G-LOFT®: The technological heart
At the heart of this success is the proprietary G-LOFT® insulation technology. Originally conceived as an alternative to expensive natural materials, G-LOFT® has evolved into a revolutionary high-tech fiber. Thanks to state-of-the-art nonwoven systems, material thicknesses, surfaces, fabric widths, and fiber blends can be flexibly adjusted. This allows tailor-made solutions to be developed for military, outdoor, workwear, and many other areas. G-LOFT® combines the warming properties of down with the durability of synthetic materials—making Goldeck Textil the undisputed innovation leader in insulation technology.
