Our Base Layer Technology

 

Your First Line of Defense Against the Cold

 

Hydrophobic + Breathable:

= Warm + Dry

PolarJock™ fleece is 100% Polartec® recycled polyester yarns. Engineered for lightweight, cold-weather protection, the lofted structures create thermal air pockets to retain warmth and still allow optimal breathability. In a range of outdoor conditions, it repels moisture and speeds dry times, making it the most dependable material for an active lifestyle. Polartec® is also the creator of Eco-Engineering™ which sets the standard for sustainable textiles, including the world’s first fully recycled and biodegradable fleece.


High Strength-To-Weight Ratio:

= Tough + Lightweight

We use a polyester known for its balance of lightweight properties, a silky texture, stretch, and strength. This translates into effortless and unrestricted movement, making PolarJock™ an exceptionally comfortable base layer for any activity. It’s combined wind resistant and breathability provide proper ventilation, which helps regulate your body temperature and prevent overheating during extended periods of exertion. And, it’s highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of regular use and frequent washing.


Resilient Elasticity:

= Durable Range of Movement

The elastic used in PolarJock™ ensures you move freely and in total comfort to maintain optimal performance over many hours. It’s designed to move with you in a range of activities that involve repetitive movements and a wide range of motion. You get flexibility, durability, and next-to-skin comfort. These properties are especially important if you are prone to irritation or chafing. Superior durability also means these elastics retain their shape, stretch, and fit over time. They withstand repeated stretching without losing their integrity or functionality.


 

PolarJock™ exclusively uses Polartec® Recycled Polyester. Polartec® was the first to turn synthetic yarns into thermal fabric for outdoor apparel, and it’s fleece remains the industry standard for outerwear performance.
