Technology

Polartec Alpha®

Intensive stop-and-go activities in sub-zero conditions pose a particular challenge for functional fabrics. They have to strike the right balance between trapping an insulating layer of air next to your body and allowing moisture/sweat to quickly escape. This is where Polartec® Alpha® active insulation is in a class of its own. It regulates core body temperatures during both dynamic and static activities by retaining body heat, but allowing moisture vapour to move freely through the fabric, increasing overall air exchange and speeding up dry times. This prevents the fleecy insulation from turning into a sponge. It’s made of fine synthetic fibres between air permeable woven layers with a core of lofted knit fibres to ensure uniform consistency.
