GREAT Scheme / Ministry of Textiles Recognition

Kailyx apparel is developed to hold its integrity where most gear fails — sub-zero cold, relentless wind, thin air. Every material choice starts with one question: what happens above 5,000 metres.

Comparative Analysis
Beyond Animal-Derived Insulation
Existing Technology

Multi-layer construction with a hydrophilic inner, thermal insulation from animal fibres, feathers or goose down in the middle, and a water-barrier outer layer.

Kailyx Technology

Inner layer with excellent wicking for quick moisture transport, a specially developed thermal-bonded nonwoven insulation layer, and an outer layer engineered for water proofing, UV resistance and breathability.

Benefit

Multi-layer, high-performance, lightweight sports gear for high-altitude application, built with sustainable elements.

Product Design
Five Micro-Climates, One Jacket

Between an outdoor temperature that can fall to -35°C and a skin temperature of +35°C, the jacket manages five distinct micro-climate zones — stepping the temperature down layer by layer instead of exposing the body to the full gradient at once.

  • Water proof breathable coated, abrasion resistant, UPF 30 outer nylon fabric
  • Protective spun-bound SMS layer for insulation
  • Patentable thermal insulation layer
  • Protective spun-bound SMS layer for insulation (inner side)
  • Hydrophilic, antimicrobial micro denier polyester fabric
The Science
Engineered Against How The Body Loses Heat

The human body loses heat through radiation, convection, conduction and evaporation. Kailyx's construction is engineered specifically around the two largest sources of loss.

60%
Heat Loss — Radiation
20%
Heat Loss — Evaporation
15%
Heat Loss — Convection
5%
Heat Loss — Conduction

At altitudes above 2,400 metres, temperature drops roughly 15–16°C per 1,000ft of elevation, alongside higher precipitation, stronger wind, lower air pressure, reduced oxygen and more intense UV radiation — the exact conditions Kailyx apparel is engineered to withstand.

Backed by Recognition, Guided by Expertise

Kailyx's technical development has been selected under the GREAT Scheme by the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, under the National Technical Textiles Mission — guided by Technical Advisor Aniket Bhute, a Chartered Textile Engineer specialising in technical textiles, nonwovens and thermal insulation.

Market Opportunity
Built For A Market That Imports Its Best Gear

Domestic demand for high-altitude technical clothing outpaces domestic production, with most performance gear currently imported from the USA, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Italy and the UK.
