STRETCH-MX
Stretchable thermal insulation for high-mobility apparel, gloves, footwear, and headwear.
Key benefits of HEAT-MX™ STRETCH-MX
Ideal applications
STRETCH-MX is best for products where insulation must flex, recover, and remain comfortable across dynamic movement—especially in lightweight and stretch constructions.
For application-specific guidance (e.g., gloves, footwear, workwear), please see our Application pages or contact our technical team.
Performance & care
STRETCH-MX combines stretch-driven comfort with warmth distribution, moisture support, and practical care—so brands can build insulated products that stay comfortable through movement and repeated use.
Stretch, fit & integration
Moisture comfort & wet-weather behavior
Actual performance and care instructions depend on the specific STRETCH-MX article and garment construction. Always follow the care label and datasheet guidance.
Sustainability & circularity options
STRETCH-MX can align with HEAT-MX sustainability initiatives depending on the specific product code and program requirements.
Clean Recycling Initiative compliance
STRETCH-MX is presented with Clean Recycling Initiative compliance on the official product page (levels shown).
Home wash / no dry clean platform benefit
HEAT-MX technologies are engineered to support home washing without dry cleaning, enabling benefits such as improved hygiene, reduced maintenance cost, and longevity.
NMF technology option
HEAT-MX describes NMF technology as a platform designed to minimize microplastic contamination in water systems (program/availability dependent).
Cleanly recyclable / recycled pathways
HEAT-MX lists cleanly recyclable / recycled products and related initiatives under its broader sustainable technologies portfolio—confirm code-level availability with HEAT-MX.
Not all features listed above apply to every STRETCH-MX code or application. Please consult the datasheet or your HEAT-MX™ representative for code-specific details.
Awards & industry recognition
STRETCH-MX has been recognized for its innovation through the ISPO Top of Innovation Awards, and the STRETCH-MX datasheet also references the HEAT-MX sustainable technology platform being recognized by ISPO.
