Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are the next
generation of technical Clothing - the soft shell. This
clothing concept goes beyond traditional 2-layer systems, which
feature fleece insulation and a waterproof/breathable shell, to a
single layer that protects against all but the worst weather
conditions and delivers extended breathability, abrasion resistance
and stretch to enhance your outdoor comfort.
How does it work?
Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics feature a smooth,
tightly woven nylon face for abrasion resistance equal or superior
to the best shells, but without the stiffness and noise.
A polyester velour back that traps air and provides a high
warmth-to-weight ratio.
Polartec® Windbloc-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 waterproof breathable
shells – and improves breathability, reducing the risk of heat
stress buildup.
All Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are finished with a
durable water repellent (DWR) to shed rain and snow. All version
feature spandex or mechanical stretch for freedom of
movement.
Garments made from Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are
designed to replace traditional fleece and shell systems for
most outdoor clothing applications, reducing the weight and number
of layers needed to insulate and protect. They are ideal,
winter Duty activities.They are used in jackets, pants, bibs,
hats,and gloves. It's clothing that works.
