It is now official – 66North® has won the coveted ispo award in the category Outdoor Soft Goods with its Snæfell Jacket made from Polartec® NeoShell®. As a result, Polartec® finds itself on the winner's podium with a new fabric for the second year in a row. The ispo award will be presented at the 66North stand during the ispo trade fair on Sunday, February 6, 2011.
After the successful introduction of Polartec® Power Shield® Pro for this winter, the leading manufacturer of functional fabrics is bringing another revolutionary innovation to the market for next winter: Polartec® NeoShell®. And the American company has once again developed here a real tour de force. The special feature: Polartec® NeoShell® is the most breathable, waterproof fabric that has ever been available on the market.
“Based on the highly‐functional Polartec® Neo Shell® fabric, the Snæfell Jacket impresses with exceptional functionality in many fields of application. Perfect workmanship and the successful realization of detailed solutions round off the overall high‐quality concept for a broad target group of outdoor sports enthusiasts”, were the reasons given for their decision by the jury for the ispo award.
66North® Snæfell made from Polartec® NeoShell®
This especially technical jacket made from bi‐elastic, light Polartec® NeoShell® is available in both a men’s and women’s style. In both cases, the jacket stands out due to a particularly ergonomic cut, the elbows are preformed and the shoulders designed without seams – guaranteeing in this way an optimal freedom of movement. The use of Polartec® NeoShell® ensures that the jacket is waterproof and breathable. The two‐way zippers used are also waterproof. The individually adjustable hood with a small peak follows your every movement without restricting vision in the process, important items can be stored in the small pocket on the sleeve and the cuffs can be adjusted with a Velcro fastening, while the pockets are filled with a mesh lining and act, where required, as a source of ventilation. The waistband is also adjustable. Incidentally, the very ergonomically cut Snæfell trousers are
available as well to match the jacket.
