TREQA uses only tight-weave sheet insulation in our jackets. Why? Because sheet insulation provides you with coverage that’s both consistent and lightweight, by preventing heat-loss at stitched seams, and staying put – it won’t shift or clump like down or other insulations. Our insulation is cut in full sheets and sewn into our garments – so there are never any pockets without insulation, even after washing; everything stays put.
Heat Loss Comparison – Competitor VS TREQA
We took a competitors jacket under thermal view (left) and tested it against our own jacket (right). The bright areas are depicting heat-loss at the stitching, so those are areas with no insulation! With blown insulation into each stitched pocket, it’s easy to see how heat-loss can occur.
The bright coloured areas (hot spots) in the photos show where heat is being lost through the jacket. A higher temperature means you are losing heat and warmth.
Compared to the Treqa jacket, where we use only sheet insulation, no bright areas means no cold spots so you’ve got thorough coverage and no gaps for heat-loss to occur.

At TREQA, we’ve got options! So when picking your jacket, it’s important to consider your activity level as much as your day-to-day personal comfort and body temperature. If you’re normally warm all the time, you may prefer a jacket with breathability to allow heat out – or perhaps our under-arm vent zips feature will be the perfect solution.
From polar fleece inner-layers, and wind-resistant fabrics, to front zippers with storm-aps that ensures the rain stays out. Our lightweight fabrics and packability make any TREQA jacket compact enough to carry on any adventure.Check the hangtags to find the options that are a fit for you.
