Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro

How Does It Work?

Moisture Management
Moisture and high relative humidity next to the skin cause discomfort. Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ keeps the skin dry through three complementary mechanisms:
  1.  The fabric is highly breathable and does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor.
  2. “Touch Points” on the fabric inner surface draw off the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric, where it spreads rapidly for evaporation.
  3. When the sweat reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out to many times its original surface area, enabling it to dry at least 2 times faster than cotton.

Durability
The technical bi-component construction employs nylon on the exterior of the fabric for durability and polyester next to skin for moisture management. It was engineered for high-end performance for the most demanding end-user, concerned with managing the diverse micro-climate conditions of exterior durability and internal comfort.
