Part Two Continued: Insulation Layers
David explained last newsletter: that the best insulation for active outdoor wear is brushed polyester, polar fleece. Bulky, light, absorbs very little moisture (just 3% of its weight), has superior thermal efficiency compared to wool and allows body moisture to pass through it to ensure the outer waterproof/breathable layer breathes to its maximum potential. We still use the original USA made Polartec® fabrics. Polartec® 200 is a good option for warmth and versatility and we offer three different types of fabric in this category:
Polartec® 200 Thermal Pro®
- extremely durable outer surface
- 100% recycled content
- doesn’t pill
- maintains thickness with constant wash & wear
- ideal as extremely warm under layer or outer garment
Polartec® 200 Thermal Pro® High Loft:
- soft, extremely durable’ fur’ construction
- warmer and more compactible than standard Polartec® 200
- doesn’t pill or shed
- 64% recycled content
- ideal when warmth, weight and space are critical
- Polartec® 200 Thermal Pro® Texture
The same properties as Polartec® 200 Thermal Pro® but with a knitted outer surface. 100% recycled content.
