Lightweight body-mapped Paralite™ insulation meets high-efficiency wind resistance in the versatile TUO
Clement Puffy
MUSKEGON, MI (March 17, 2026) – TUO® is placing a renewed spotlight on the Clement Puffy Jacket, a
technical piece engineered for high wind resistance and thermal efficiency without the bulk of a
traditional insulated jacket.
The Clement Puffy is defined by its Paralite™ Zoned Insulation. This body-mapped approach places 80g
of insulation in the core to maximize heat retention, while utilizing 60g in the sleeves. The result is a
jacket that eliminates the marshmallow feel of standard puffies, providing critical warmth while allowing
for a full range of motion.
Paralite™ represents a significant advancement in high-loft synthetic technology, specifically developed
to mimic the thermal properties of down while maintaining performance in damp environments. This
proprietary insulation is exceptionally breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape during high-output
activity while trapping a massive amount of heat relative to its weight. Unlike traditional synthetics that
can feel stiff or heavy, Paralite remains highly compressible, ensuring the jacket regains its full loft and
insulating power immediately after being unpacked.
Technical Innovation Meets Field Function
The foundation of the Clement is a 100% 20D nylon shell treated with a DWR finish to shed moisture
and resist stains. Despite its featherweight feel, the fabric is highly wind-resistant—a vital barrier against
the harsh gusts that rob core heat during early-morning and late-evening sessions.
“The Clement is the essential 'just in case' tool for your kit,” said Steve Allie, TUO Marketing Director.
“By zoning the Paralite insulation—80g in the body and 60g in the sleeves—we’ve created a piece that
provides core warmth when the weather turns on a dime, yet remains mobile and disappears in your
pack when it’s not needed.”
Clement Puffy Jacket FEATURES:
Zoned Thermal Efficiency: Body-mapped Paralite™ (80g body/60g sleeves) balances warmth with
mobility.
Extreme Packability: Internal zipper in the left pocket converts the jacket into a compact stuff sack.
Mobile Design: Articulated elbows and an adjustable waist ensure the jacket moves with the wearer.
Weather Protection: Adjustable high-neck hood and wind-resistant 20D nylon shell with DWR
treatment.
Secure Storage: Three zippered pockets (two waist, one chest).
Whether navigating a vertical ascent or settling into camp, the Clement Puffy Jacket delivers the
protection required to stay outside longer.
