How does it work?
Wind resistance
Polartec Power Shield FR fabrics feature a tightly woven face for abrasion resistance equal
or superior to the best outer shells. A velour back traps air and provides a high warmth-toweight ratio or Polartec Power Dry FR back improves moisture vapor transport. Durable water
repellency
The perforated membrane enables the fabric to block 98% of the wind. The remaining 2%
is allowed to circulate within the fabric, which greatly enhances moisture vapor transmission- 2 times faster than other waterproof breathable shells- and improves breathablity,
reducing the risk of heat stress buildup. All Polartec Power Shield FR fabrics are finished
with a durable water repellent (DWR) to shed rain and snow.
Abrasion resistant FR face
Perforated FR membrane:
blocks wind, enhances
breathability
Garments made from made from Polartec Power Shield FR fabrics are designed to replace
traditional fleece and shell systems for most outdoor clothing application, reducing the
weight and number of layers needed to insulate and protect.
