To be included in the next-to-skin category for Polartec®, a fabric must actively pull moisture away from your body (wick), dry quickly, breathe and be comfortable on your skin. No matter what season, weather condition or activity you face, this is the most critical layer for comfort and performance. We include two fabric series in the next-to-skin category, Polartec® Power Dry® and Polartec® Power Stretch®. Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics are available in a huge range of weights and styles for everything from summer silkweights to lofted expedition weight. As the name suggests, Polartec® Power Stretch® fabrics offer a degree of stretch ranging from moderate for casual wear to supportive for performance (cycling shorts, tights, sports bras). This series also covers all seasons with many different weights and finishes. |
