Driven by the desire to empower individuals to fully **embrace life’s adventures**, HAVEN merges **performance-inspired comfort with an authentic urban vibe** that transcends barriers to help you explore and interact with the world at large. Inspired by the rugged landscapes and diverse climates of the Pacific Northwest, the **contemporary yet technical designs prioritize functionality without sacrificing style**. Which is where **Polartec®** comes in. Since 2006, HAVEN has been exploring the convergence between t**echnical innovation and craftsmanship** by using **best-in-class fabrics** that deliver **enduring excellence while respecting the environment**. Because the best way to be **sustainable** is to create **high quality garments that last** the test of time and are timeless in nature. *“By merging advanced textile technology with a sophisticated design philosophy, HAVEN and Polartec are bridging the gap between luxury lifestyle apparel and high-performance functionality. Polartec fabrics have been integral to our mission of empowering individuals to explore the world with confidence. The rigorous use of innovative and recycled materials aligns perfectly with our commitment to quality, enabling us to deliver everyday apparel that meets the demands of active adventurers.”* Arthur Chmielewski, HAVEN Co-Founder & Creative Director. ![1 Polartec FP Haven body 768x768 1](https://polartec-polartec.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/img/1-Polartec-FP-Haven-body-768x768-1.jpg?w=450&h=450&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&dm=1721397457&s=04ee5427873bfca8950b0b6e1f178c59) ![2 Polartec FP Haven body 768x768 2]() ![5 Polartec FP Haven body 768x768 5]() ![3 Polartec FP Haven body 768x768 3]() **Equipping You for Life** Whether you’re **scaling a mountain peak** or n**avigating the bustling city streets**, having the right tools can make all the difference. This is the underlying philosophy behind **HAVEN’s commitment to innovation and practicality**: the power of equipping yourself for living. The company is headquartered in the vibrant city of Vancouver (British Columbia), surrounded by nature and its unpredictable weather. So they totally understand the importance of **bridging the gap between urban life and the great outdoors**. That’s why each piece in their **vast collection** is meticulously **engineered to enhance performance, comfort, and utility**. Just look at the [**Ridge Liner** **Jacket** ](https://havenshop.com/products/haven-ridge-liner-polartec-alpha-direct-poly-fleece)and [**Ascent Zip Neck**](https://havenshop.com/products/haven-ascent-zip-neck-polartec-alphia-direct-poly-fleece), both of which are **made with** [**Polartec®** **Alpha™**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/alpha) active insulation. The Ridge Liner is designed to function as a **midlayer** but thanks to its relaxed fit, it doubles as a **lightweight outer**. The Ascent Zip Neck, on the other hand, is a **best-in-class** **midlayer inspired by military layering systems**. No surprise here. [Polartec® Alpha™](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/alpha) was originally developed for the U.S. Special Forces to provide **advanced insulation that regulates body temperature** during the starting and stopping of active combat. **With hydrophobic, lofted fibers** connected to a solid mesh core it ensures **adaptable breathability** while helping **eliminate** the need for **shedding** or adding clothing while on the move. **Beyond performance** **Co-Founder & Creative Director Arthur Chmielewski** has been delivering premium hybrid streetwear and technical attire since founding the company in 2006 but his dedication to **functionality** goes beyond mere aesthetics. **He believes in creating gear that seamlessly** **integrates into every aspect of your life**. Whether you’re commuting to work, going out with friends, or embarking on a weekend excursion, HAVEN is designed to adapt to your needs. With features like **thermal regulating** **fabrics, adjustable fits, and ample storage options**, you’ll be prepared for whatever the day might throw at you without compromising on style or versatility. **Why settle for ordinary?** More than just a clothing brand, **HAVEN is a way of life**. A testament to the belief that true fulfillment comes from embracing the world around you and seizing every opportunity that comes your way. And because the company is surrounded by mountains, oceans, and coastal rainforests, **HAVEN’s technical apparel is designed to withstand ever-changing weather, temperatures and circumstances**. **Scale new heights or navigate the challenges of your daily routine; HAVEN and Polartec**[**®**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/alpha) **equip you for the journey ahead – all while keeping fashionably ready for anything.** Share.
