Polartec® Thermal Pro® High Loft fabrics take insulation to a new level by maximizing warmth without weight, compressibility and breathability. They are the most technically advanced of the Polartec® insulation fabrics, achieving the utmost versatility and performance under extreme conditions. This level of performance is critical when all you have is what you can carry.


How does it work?

The key to this fabric's performance is in its unique construction. An open-mesh stitch promotes compressibility, increases airflow, and minimizes weight. Low density, high loft pile face and back minimizes weight but increases warmth and compressibility. The fabric maintains its loft wear after wear, for enduring warmth. Fabrics are at least 20% warmer per weight than standard fleece.


Compressibility

Polartec® Thermal Pro® High Loft offers exceptional compressibility - up to 40% more than standard fleece. It takes up less space in your pack, so you can travel lighter and faster, or perhaps in more comfort having space for an additional essential like camp espresso maker, an MP3 player, or your favorite mood enhancing beverage.



Technical Highlights

    1) Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics. Highest warmth to weight ratios of any Polartec® fabrics.
    2) Highly breathable to provide comfort in all activities: does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor.
    3) Lightens your load and takes up less space in your pack than standard fleece fabrics. Dries quickly to minimize heat loss.
    4) Versatile; appropriate for a broad range activities.
    5) Machine washable.
