Materials

Polartec® Power dry® is the ideal two-component fabric for the basic layer, characterized by very high breathability. Due to capillary effect Polartec® Power Dry® inner surface pulls moisture away from the body and the outer layer spreads this moisture upon surface for more efficient evaporation. Continuous evaporation prevents overheating and regulates temperature in both hot and cold conditions. Polartec® Power Dry® dries twice faster than natural cotton. This fabric uses Odor Resistant® technology which provides antibacterial protection and helps to avoid odours. Additionally, Polartec® Power Dry® has the highest level of protection from ultraviolet (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) – UFP50+. This material is completely hypoallergenic. Material density is 125g/m2. Composition – 100% Polyester. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine.

Polartec® Power GRID® is a bi-component fabric with grid design. Products made of this fabric have high breathability and can remove moisture quickly. Moreover, with the help of special notching on the fleecy inner part this material perfectly retains heat and keeps your skin dry at the same time. Clothes made of this fabric is the perfect choice as a baselayer for cold weather and intense activities. However, it’s also good for static tasks. The grid construction design also provides excellent warmth without bulk. The grid structure also increases the effectiveness of sweat absorption by creating contact points on fabric and skin, which improves vapor permeability between areas of contact. As well as Polartec® Power Dry® this fabric uses Odor Resistant® technology, which provides antibacterial protection and acts as a barrier to avoid odour. This fabric is completely hypoallergenic. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine.

Polartec® Power Stretch® ProTM – highly elastic, 4-way stretchy fabric with increased toughness for stretching without deformation. This unique bi-component fabric consists of two layers. First one is outer sturdy nylon surface, which reduces friction with other layers of clothes increasing abrasion resistance of the material. It is combined with a soft inner layer with heat retaining velour pile that absorbs sweat and expels it to the outside. This fabric uses Odor Resistant® technology which stops the proliferation of bacteria and helps to avoid odour. This material is completely hypoallergenic. Material density is 231g/m2. Composition: 52% Polyester, 10% Spandex and 38% Nylon. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine.

Polartec® Classic Micro® – is the premium thin dual-side fleece. Light, elastic, warm and breathing fabric, which pulls excess moisture from the skin. It’s a perfect choice as a light insulating layer for high-intense activities because of its breathability and heat retention abilities. Due to the anti-peeling treatment, the fabric doesn’t ruffle.

Polartec® Classic Micro® uses Odor Resistant® technology which stops the proliferation of bacteria and acts as a barrier to avoid the unpleasant smell. This material is completely hypoallergenic. Material density is 159g/m2. Composition: 100% Polyester. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine.

Polartec® Classic 200® – is a high-quality bulk double-sided fleece. It’s light, wear resistant, elastic, warm and breathing fabric that doesn’t accumulate moisture in itself like natural fabrics, but expels it to the outside. According to insulating abilities per 1 gram, Polartec Classic 200 is twice better than sheep’s wool and three times better than cotton. Thanks to anti-peeling treatment, the fabric doesn’t ruffle. Polartec® Classic 200® uses Odor Resistant® technology, which provides antibacterial protection and acts as a barrier to avoid the unpleasant smell. This material is completely hypoallergenic. Material density is 251g/m2. Composition: 100% Polyester. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine.

Polartec® Thermal Pro® – is a high-quality bulk double-sided fleece which is light, warm and it expels moisture. It also consists of two layers. The outer surface is abrasion resistant and protects from wind and light rain. The soft fleecy inner layer provides the highest heat retention. Body sweat is freely removed outside. This is the best combination of weight and functionality. Thermal Pro® consists of durable and fast drying polyester fiber. Compared to other fabrics, this material retains its insulation properties and it’s not being damaged after multiple washes. Thermal Pro is the most versatile material from Polartec platform, due to this different kinds of fabric for different outdoors activities can be created to provide the necessary isolation level. This material is completely hypoallergenic. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine.

Polartec® High LoftTM – is the most functional and modern fabric on the market of insulation materials. It is a lightweight and advanced fleece with a long yarns that imitate the fur of an animal. A unique warmth-to-weight ratio has been achieved by the latest developments of Polartec® High LoftTM. It’s very light and warm elastic wear-resistant and breathable fabric. It pulls the excess moisture from the body and dries really fast. Polartec® High LoftTM uses Odor Resistant® technology which stops the proliferation of bacteria and acts helps to avoid the unpleasant smell. This material is completely hypoallergenic. Material density is 237g/m2. Composition: 100% Polyester. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine.

Polartec® Windbloc® is a combination of heat retaining fleece and polyurethane membrane. In other words, it combines insulation with wind and moisture proof of the top layer without sacrificing to breathability. This light and wear-resistant fabric disallow moisture penetration inside. It blocks the 60 km/h wind by 98%. Thanks to anti-peeling treatment the fabric doesn’t ruffle. Material density is 251g/m2. Composition: 100% Polyester. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine. Products made from Polartec® Windbloc® are popular among militaries and trekkers because membranes are unpretentious in washing and care.

PrimaLoft® is one of the best microfiber synthetic insulations of the last generation, which was created for US army as an artificial goose down substitute (coefficient of thermal resistance of goose down is 2.18, and for PrimaLoft® – 2.15). PrimaLoft® has high performance insulation and water resistant properties and its insulation qualities almost don’t suffer from the wet environment. It will continue to warm you even when the item will be wet. This material is highly breathable and encourage the passage of moisture vapor. PrimaLoft® is very durable and highly compressive and packable – it can be strongly compressed without any effect on the quality and structure of the material. The material fully returns to its original volume for a short period of time.

Material density is 100/133/200g/m2. Composition: 100% Polyester. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine. Nowadays, PrimaLoft® is almost a quality icon among microfiber synthetic insulation.

GELANOTS® – is the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality nylon and membranes, a part of the Toyota Tsusho Corporation (Toyota Group, Japan).

GELANOTS® nylon has an increased wear resistance. It manufactured according to the principle of a nonporous membrane (“breathes” and pulls moisture from the body to outside and at the same time it retains moisture penetration inside). In nylon production, the most modern water-repellent of 6-th generation S-DWR (Super Durable Water Repellent) is used. It not applied over the material but integrated into the fabric structure during production. Material density is 69/113g/m2. Composition: 100% Nylon. Products made of this fabric are allowed to be washed in a washing machine.

Technologies

Pure Cool® is the “green technology” where fine jade stone particles are used. Jade is crushed to dust and then embedded in synthetic fibers. The whole process happens before the actual production of harsh fabric. On the second stage, the material is being produced from harsh fabric. Pure Cool® provides an effect of decreasing ambient temperature for 1-2 Celsius degrees (It’s even more important if the additional warming of your body is not possible in specific climatic conditions). Сlothes made of this material are guaranteed to be worn for a longer time before the appearance of an unpleasant smell caused by the proliferation of bacteria. This fabric dries really fast. It’s environmentally friendly and has UV protection UPF 50+.

Odor Resistant® - technology which provides antibacterial protection and helps to avoid odours.
