Polartec Power High Efficiency, a version of the popular Polartec Power Dry fabric designed to keep your skin dry when you sweat, is differentiated with a grid back that maximizes warmth, minimizes weight and enhances breathability.
Polartec Power Dry High Efficiency fabrics weigh less, take up less space, and deliver more insulation and breathability than most other fabrics in their class. Oakley and ski brand Armada are using similar versions of the fabric in fall 2012 collections.
Polartec continues to reduce waste and increase the amount of recycled content used in production, with over 50% of 2012 domestic production estimated to be recycled. Together with partner brand Norrona, Polartec has built fabric using REPREVE 100 yarn from recyclable plastic bottles deposited in Norway last spring to make Polartec Wind Pro fabric which will be available to consumers fall 2012 in Norrona's /29 warm4 Up-Cycled Jacket, Norrona's most breathable, windproof and weatherproof fleece jacket.
