Polartec® Windbloc-ACT® fabrics provide wind and weather protection for active sports where enhanced breathability is required. By combining several features in a single fabric, they eliminate the need for a windbreaker or additional shell.

How it works?

Polartec® Windbloc-ACT® blocks 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 windproof fleece – and improves breathability, reducing the risk of heat-stress buildup.

Featuring a breathable stretch-polyurethane membrane, Polartec® Windbloc-ACT® fabrics enable you to stretch freely and move quietly throuh your outdoor activity.  A durable water repellent finish sheds rain and snow, while a Polartec® Power Dry®  lining inside pulls moisture away from the body to keep you dry.

 

Polartec® Windbloc-ACT® fabrics are also very durable, quiet, and non-pilling, with superior stretch and recovery. They are ideal for active, forward-motion sports requiring warmth and protection from the elements.
