How Mills Work With Us

We work with mills through fabric supply and coating partnerships.

We supply XReflex fabrics directly into existing supply chains and collaborate with mills and brand partners on testing and product development.

We also provide a coating service, where fabrics are treated with XReflex technology and returned ready for garment manufacturing.

How it works

XReflex reflects infrared heat that would otherwise be lost to the environment back towards your body.

XReflex can be used in flexible configurations and multiple layers to capture maximum warmth

The trade-off between warmth and weight

Creating warmth means adding more bulk, weight and insulation. There is a constant balancing between warmth, comfort, mobility and performance.

Traditional insulated constructions can limit design flexibility, increase material use and create heavier products that are less efficient to wear and manufacture.

Bulky insulated assemblies
Heavy garments and equipment
Inefficient use of down and insulation
Limited flexibility in product construction
Warmth often compromises breathability and comfort

XREFLEX® Benefits

XReflex delivers lightweight thermal performance through advanced radiant barrier technology, helping brands create thinner, lighter and warmer products.

Increased warmth without added weight
Thin, flexible material assemblies
Maintains fabric breathability and hand-feel
Durable performance across demanding applications
Integrates into existing manufacturing and supply chains
Enables lighter, warmer and more efficient product design

XReflex® Coating Service

Add XReflex into your supply chain through our Coating Service program.

Mill partner fabrics are sent to Xefco for treatment with XReflex technology before being returned ready for garment manufacturing and development.

This provides a simple and efficient way for mills and brands to access advanced thermal performance materials.

Xefco supports testing, validation and optimisation throughout each development process.

Use Cases

Lightweight thermal performance for insulated outerwear and cold-weather apparel.

Puffer jackets
Performance wear
Ski wear, Gloves, Boots
Survival
Camping
Bedding
Lightweight thermal performance for insulated outerwear and cold-weather apparel.
Advanced warmth retention and breathability for high-output performance and active environments.
Thermal protection for extreme cold and alpine conditions.
High-efficiency thermal materials designed for demanding outdoor and emergency applications.
Lightweight warmth solutions for sleeping systems, outerwear and outdoor equipment.
Thermal comfort materials designed to improve warmth retention with reduced bulk.

“This opens up new possibilities for design, because slimmer silhouettes and a lower weight of garments become possible. This is a good news for those who are planning to climb the Everest and trying to take as little weight with them as possible! The coating is ideal for outdoor and sports clothing such as jackets, pants and skirts, as well as for sleeping bags.”
