POLARTEC ALPHA DIRECT

Polartec Alpha is one of the latest evolutionary steps in synthetic insulation. Based on Polartec’s Thermal Pro High Loft technology platform, it has an open, woven construction which combines warmth with hyper breathability. At the same time, it is also extremely compressible and provides warmth without the same level of weight or bulk as traditional insulation fabrics.

This patented, adaptive quality is made possible through Alpha’s lofted fibres connected to a solid mesh core. And since Polartec Alpha Direct is inherently hydrophobic, it resists all moisture and dries incredibly fast. Alpha Direct insulation is ideal for fast-paced outdoor activities like backcountry skiing, mountaineering and ice climbing.

TECHNICAL FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Regulates warmth
Advanced breathability
Fast drying
Compressible
Lightweight
Highly durable

POLARTEC THERMAL PRO

Thermal Pro® yarns are dyed in a vibrant spectrum of colours. Unique finishing techniques ensure every knit construction has the right look and feel. Technical fibre compositions maintain a soft texture and air pockets for thermoregulation and breathability. Knit with premium polyester yarns, Thermal Pro® is cosy, resilient, and stylish.

TECHNICAL FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Versatile styles
Warmth without weight
Pill-resistant
Fast drying
Highly durable

POLARTEC POWER GRID

With geometric constructions to generate targeted touch points for our patented bi-component design to manage moisture. The next-to-skin surface is hydrophilic to absorb sweat vapour and transfer it outside. Then the outer surface disperses moisture for more efficient evaporation. The grid design also creates open air channels that improve breathability and reduce fabric mass.

TECHNICAL FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Bi-component knit
Efficient performance
Versatile warmth
Highly breathable
Moisture wicking
Lightweight

POLARTEC POWER STRETCH PRO

Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ has reinforced elastic fibres creating 4-way stretch that meets the demanding push and pull of activity. This agile, dual-surface fabric absorbs moisture from the skin while continuously wicking it to the outer layer for fast evaporation. Power Stretch® Pro™’s outer surface has a low-friction finish, so this versatile fabric can layer perfectly with others and resist abrasion on its own.

TECHNICAL FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Dual-surface
Superior abrasion resistance/li>
Shape retention and 4-way stretch/li>
Highly breathable/li>
Fast drying/li>
Wicks moisture/li>

POLARTEC POWER DRY

This bi-component fabric technology is constructed with a hydrophilic interior to pull moisture away from the skin and transfer it to the outer layer. Power Dry’s exterior surface area disperses and releases this moisture for more efficient dry times. Continuous evaporation prevents saturation and regulates temperature in both hot and cold conditions.

TECHNICAL FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Bi-component knit
Outer face fabric: highly breathable and wicks moisture quickly. 50+ UPF.
Inner face fabric: Brushed inner face for comfort against the skin
Superior wicking
Fast drying
Highly Breathable
Lightweight
Odour Resistant

POLARTEC MICROFLEECE

Premium polyester yarns are used for their hydrophobic properties, to repel moisture and speed dry times. The lofted structures create thermal air pockets to retain warmth, and still allow optimal breathability. That’s why Polartec® synthetic fleece is still the most dependable, versatile fabric around.
