Polartec® Wind Pro®

Polartec® Wind Pro® fabrics are extremely breathable yet provide 4x more wind resistance than traditional fleece.  This is the new "super fleece" which spans an incredibly wide range of conditions; performs as both outerwear and insulation; and offers exceptional durability.  This is a versatile fabric which can be worn all year long for a variety of activities.

How does it work?

Proprietary yarns and a very tight construction greatly reduce the effects of wind chill, the Achilles heel of traditional fleece.  We have proven its effectiveness both in the lab and in the field.  Polartec® Wind Pro® blocks the wind 4 times more than traditional fleece.

The durable water repellent outer surface sheds rain and snow. The velour or pebbled back efficiently traps air and provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio.  Both surfaces of these fabrics are finished for maximum durability and pill-free performance. They retain their insulating ability and original appearance after repeated use and laundering.

Because it is not a laminate, Polartec® Wind Pro® is also highly breathable, maintaining 85% of the breathability of traditional fleece to keep you from over heating.

Technical Highlights:

• 4 times more wind resistant than traditional fleece; greatly reduces wind chill.
• Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics.
• Water repellent surface sheds rain and snow.
• Highly breathable; provides comfort in all activities; does not restrict the movement of moisture vapour.
• Durable; will outlast other fleece fabrics.
• Machine washable.
