Polartec® Power Shield® Pro – The Technology Behind the Awards
OUTSIDE MAGAZINE | GEAR OF THE YEAR AWARD
"...That's thanks to an improved version of Polartec's Power Shield (called Power Shield Pro), which has been a staple (and highly breathable) soft-shell fabric for years. This new, reformulated stuff is tough, lightweight, thin, quiet, and much more windproof than the old fabric."
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ADVENTURE | GEAR OF THE YEAR AWARD
"The holy grail of soft shells...perfect for a range of mountain activities from climbing to skiing and boarding, thanks to its fabric. Polartec&® Power Shield&® Pro is a softshell—stretchy, soft, and comfortable—that comes amazingly close to hard shell waterproofness without giving up softshell’s biggest attraction, breathability. Unless you run a marathon in it, you’ll stay dry inside and out."
MEN'S JOURNAL | GEAR OF THE YEAR AWARD
"Constructed with new Polartec® Power Shield® Pro for unrivaled breathability during periods of high exertion, abrasion resistance in rugged terrain and durable water resistance in adverse weather conditions."
