Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are the next generation of technical outwear - the soft shell. This clothing concept goes beyond traditional 2-layer systems, which feature fleece insulation and a waterproof/breathable shell, to a single layer that protects against all but the worst weather conditions and delivers extended breathability, abrasion resistance and stretch to enhance your outdoor experience.
How does it work? Polartec® Windbloc-ACT® 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 breathability, reducing the risk of heat stress buildup. Technical Highlights
2) Blocks 98% of the wind to prevent wind chill,but allows enough air to circulate to keep you from overheating 3) Water repellent surface sheds rain and snow 4) Highly breathable; resists heat stress buildup during action sports 5) Non-restrictive fit allows full range of motion 6) Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics 7) Creates less noise than a traditional shell 8) Machine washable ©2004 Malden Mills Industries, Inc.
