Polartec Power Stretch

Polartec® Power Stretch®

fabrics providesa 4-way stretch and are very breathable. They keep you dry during intensive physical activity.

How does this technology work?
Sweat and high relative moisture next to the skin cause discomfort. Polartec® Power Stretch® keeps the skin dry through three complementary mechanisms:

  1. The fabric is highly breathable and does not hinder the movement of moisture vapour.
  2. “Touch Points” on the fabric inner surface of the fabric eliminate the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric, where it spreads rapidly and is quickly evaporated.
  3. When the sweat reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out to many times its original surface area, enabling it to dry at least 2 times faster than cotton.
