- Overview
The warmest, lightest fleece fabrics available today.
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 you’re skiing, backpacking or rock climbing, and all you have is what you can carry.
- How Does It Work?
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 minimize weight yet increase 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.
Polartec® Thermal Pro® High Loft offers exceptional compressibility—up to 40% more than standard fleece. It takes up less space in your backpack, so you can travel lighter and faster, or perhaps in more comfort, with space for additional items.
