A relationship going back decades, MEC Label and Polartec have been working together since the 1980s when the brand first integrated Polartec technology into the line to create the original fleece jacket, signaling the beginning of the perfect marriage of cozy and functional. Not surprisingly, the jacket was a coveted piece in the much-loved MEC Catalogues of the 1980s. As both brands celebrate decades of innovation this year, delivering classic, well-loved outdoor apparel over the years, MEC Label and Polartec have come together to honor the anniversary with the recreation of that classic style. Utilizing Polartec® Thermal Pro® shearling Fleece, the jacket brings a warm, yet [lightweight performance fleece](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/thermal-pro) delivering the comfort and look of wool shearling, with the dramatically improved performance, breathability and durability of technical fleece.
