Milliken & Company has been a key partner and supplier of high-performance technical textiles to every branch of the U.S. Military and elite defense troops around the world for 75 years, providing best-in-class materials that are engineered to keep defense personnel protected, comfortable and focused on the mission at hand. As SITKA focused on developing and manufacturing purpose-built technical products for its new line, the brand turned to Milliken & Company and Polartec for those best-in-class, TAA compliant materials. The initial product offering consists of four performance fleece and active insulation midlayers featuring [Polartec® Alpha®](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/alpha), [Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/base/power-stretch-pro), and [Polartec® Wind Pro®](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/wind-pro) with [Hardface®](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/hardface). The Arrowhead Equipment [Midlayer Pullover](https://sitkaarrowhead.com/products/midlayers/midlayer-pullover-mwd/coyote) and [Hoody MDW](https://sitkaarrowhead.com/products/midlayers/midlayer-hoody-mdw/coyote) are inspired by SITKA’s Fanatic Hoody - the brand’s most functional and widely used midlayer fleece. Purpose built for combat layering systems, the performance fleece offers long-lasting abrasion resistance, without sacrificing flex and comfort. For the main body of the garment, Polartec® Wind Pro® with Hardface® delivers exceptional wind and abrasion resistance. Comprised of an advanced knit construction, it provides four times the wind resistance of traditional technical fleece, while maintaining a high degree of breathability. The added proprietary Hardface® treatment increases abrasion resistance, durability, and weather resistance while maximizing its performance as a versatile combat layering system. Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro, noted for its dynamic stretch and comfort, is strategically mapped under the arms, down the sides, and in the hood. The result is a technical apparel solution with enhanced comfort and dynamic stretch for a better fit during prolonged operations. The Arrowhead Equipment [Midlayer Jacket](https://sitkaarrowhead.com/products/midlayers/midlayer-jacket-mdwi/coyote) and [Hoody MDWi](https://sitkaarrowhead.com/products/midlayers/midlayer-hoody-mdwi/coyote) are inspired by SITKA’s Kelvin Active Jacket, drawing from its DNA of high performance in an active environment, but with a lighter and more breathable design. The key to this midlayer is its effectiveness as both a standalone piece and as part of a Wet Weather Protective system. Exceptionally lightweight, highly breathable and compressible, it performs equally well in both situations, as suited to Special Reconnaissance tasks. Polartec® Alpha® was invented for the U.S. Special Forces to provide superior insulation for extreme temperature variations and the start-stop conditions of combat. Polartec® Alpha® active insulation is engineered for consistent warmth, while allowing greater breathability for temperature regulation. This air exchange technology creates sustained comfort without shedding layers, which isn’t an option during a mission. Polartec® Alpha® Direct is an evolution of the original Alpha® technology that eliminates the need for a backing fabric to enclose the insulation. By refining the size and shape of its lofted fibers, Alpha® Direct can be in direct contact with skin or other fabric layers. This provides increased breathability, while reducing weight, bulk, and dry-times. A cross-functional piece, the Midlayer Jacket and Hoody MDWi is a reliable piece you will find yourself never deploying without.
