Albany, NY; November 3, 2009 –Russell Outdoors has selected PrimaLoft® - Insulation Technology™ as its insulation of choice in its new APXg2 line of outerwear.
Russell Outdoors’ APXg2 line consists of a five-level layering system that provides a number of configurations to keep you warm, dry and odor-free while on the hunt. PrimaLoft® insulation is featured in the L5 Insulated Jacket and Pant – the outermost layer of the APXg2 system.
“APXg2 is a combination of the best creative minds, the best fabrics, and the best technologies available in the market,” said Sharon Arnold, Marketing Manager, Russell Outdoors. “As with PrimaLoft®, performance, function and comfort are the driving forces behind our products.”
PrimaLoft® was developed by Albany International Corp. for the US Army as a synthetic alternative to down designed to keep you warm and dry even when wet. It is a unique microfiber polyester insulation that is as warm and soft as down, in addition to being water repellent, extremely light weight, compressible and quiet.

This changed the way industry viewed system-oriented apparel and began a revolution in technical hunting gear. APX quickly became the standard for a multi-product layering system, and is widely emulated today.”
The L5 Insulated Jacket and Pant are made with a brushed, water and wind-resistant outer shell. When paired with PrimaLoft®, this hunting gear helps protect you in the harshest of conditions. The jacket and pant are available in Mossy Oak® Treestand® and Black.
Hunters from Eastman’s Hunting Journal TV will be putting the L5 Insulated Jacket and Pant to the test this fall and winter as they prepare for it its 2010/11 television series that will appear on the Outdoor Channel.
