Thinsulate
Lightweight thermal filling
Thinsulate is a trademarked synthetic insulation material used in clothing, gloves, and footwear.
Made of fine polyester fibers, it provides warmth without bulk—thinner than traditional insulation but equally effective: These Thinsulate gloves keep my hands warm without feeling puffy.
The name combines "thin" and "insulate."
