The 100% polyester proprietary fibers and high-pile-velour surface create a fabric that is at least 30 times more durable than bargain fleece. These fabrics offer excellent breathability and dry quickly. The velour back traps air to retain body heat, providing outstanding warmth without weight. Unlike conventional fleece fabrics, Polartec Thermal Pro fabrics maintain their insulating ability and non-pilling appearance after repeated laundering and represent the state of the art fleece fabrics.
Background: In 1981 Polartec forever changed the way the world dresses for cold weather with the invention of par synthetic fleece. By engineering polyester fibers into a distinctly innovative knit construction, they created a more durable and versatile outerwear fabric than anything in use at that time. After more than 30 years their fleece remains the cornerstone of thermal insulating materials for its proven durability, lightweight warmth and fast drying characteristics.
Technology: To invent a superior insulating technology they had to rethink the way outerwear fabrics were being made. Current textile processes were neglecting the overall problems faced from the elements and designing materials with limited benefits. They knew they had to create a single fabric with far greater versatility.
They developed a new process for knitting polyester yarns that raises piled fibers for precise shearing into sheets of soft fabric. This now famously fuzzy surface was inherently more lightweight, breathable and faster drying than anything in use. Warmth without weight quickly became the new standard for performance fabrics.
How it Works: Polartec® fleece has a lofted fiber structure that creates thermal air pockets to prevent convective heat loss and regulate core warmth. This breakthrough design construction provides the highest warmth per weight ratio for insulating materials while remaining highly weather resistant, durable and soft to the touch.
A soft double-sided face gives fleece the versatility to integrate with layered systems, whether worn directly against the skin or on top of other fabrics. The hydrophobic properties further enhance the inherent ability to repel water, resist saturation and dry quickly.
