Follow-up to Foam Insulation Article

This is the first response I received to the original article, and there have been more from this article.

The fellow who is noted in this letter did not understand why the moisture he was giving off was retained, and it certainly wasn’t because he was out of shape. If you read my article “Insulations & How to stay Warm” you will see a picture of me wearing the very first Fossil Ridge parka that I made. While there is an explanation in the article, I’ll explain why it is covered with frost. I was wearing my fishnet long underwear and all of the moisture I was fiving off ultimately was driven out of the parka because the Lamilite simply put did not stifle the movement of the moisture while in a vapor state as the foam does.

Wiggy,

I have used your Fossil Ridge Parka and Bibs with the appropriate L-12 liners in a winter arctic hunting circumstance and a fellow hunter used the Northern Outfitters "foam" gear. Now, while we were both comfortable in the extreme cold -25 to -60 below (day/night) with serious winds, I was dry with exertion and he attributed his collecting perspiration to being out of shape. This was the second time that I had used your equipment in this type of environment and it performed exceptionally well. I will wear it with the confidence that it will do the job under these conditions- I believe that I could, not willingly though, survive an unexpected night out with this clothing. We own MANY of your products and they have never failed us. I always use and recommend your equipment and wish that you would expand your line.

Respectfully, John H Hall Jr
