Polartec Fabrics

 

Polartec Power Shield
is a soft-shell fabric with an abrasion-resistant woven nylon outer surface that provides superb protection from wind, snow and light rain, yet remains highly breathable. The breathable membrane is sandwiched between the outer and the polyester velour back, which traps air and provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio.

Polartec Thermal Pro
fabrics are the most durable of the Polartec ® thermal fabrics, at least 30 times more durable than bargain fleece. These fabrics offer excellent breathability, dry quickly and provide outstanding warmth without weight – ‘the fleece that thinks it’s down!’

Polartec Wind Pro
fabrics are 4 times more wind-resistant than conventional fleece and represent the evolution of lightweight insulation. A very tight construction greatly reduces the effects of wind chill, while the inner efficiently traps air and provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio. The durable water-repellent surface sheds rain and snow.

Polartec Windbloc
fabrics block 100% of the wind and offer maximum protection from the cold and the elements. Polartec® Windbloc® combines the warmth of Polartec® thermal fabrics with a polyurethane barrier membrane that allows moisture vapor transmission and is completely windproof and waterproof, eliminating the need for a windbreaker or additional shell. This reduces the weight and number of layers needed to protect and insulate. These fabrics are very durable, soft, and non-pilling, and have enhanced stretch and recovery, making them appropriate for general outerwear and accessories where weather protection is desirable. Polartec® Windbloc® fabrics are ideal when the activity level is low or intermittent, and when cold and inclement weather demands high-performance outer protection.

Polartec Windbloc-ACT
fabrics provide wind and weather protection where enhanced breathability is required. Air Control Technology (ACT) enables the fabric to block 98% of the wind. The remaining 2% is allowed to circulate within the fabric, which greatly enhances moisture vapor transmission – 2 times faster than other windproof fleece – and improves breathability. Durable water repellency sheds rain and snow.

Polartec Power Stretch
fabrics feature body-hugging 4-way stretch. The construction features two unique surfaces: the durable nylon outer layer is wind- and abrasion-resistant; the soft polyester velour inner layer is warm and comfortable. Power Stretch wicks sweat away to keep the skin dry, and is very breathable.

Polartec Classic
fabrics provide outstanding warmth without weight, are breathable, durable and dry quickly. The 100% polyester velour construction creates air pockets that trap air and retain body heat. Unlike less expensive fleece fabrics, Polartec Classics maintain their insulating ability and non-pilling appearance after repeated laundering.
