Polartec® Power Stretch® with Hardface Technology
This high performance next-to-skin fabric from Polartec® features body-hugging 4-way stretch and is very breathable. Polartec® Power Stretch® has a durable nylon outer layer, is wind- and abrasion-resistant; the soft inner layer pulls moisture away from your skin keeping you dry, warm and comfortable. The Hardface Technology enhances these performance features making it an ideal all around next-to-skin fabric.
Moisture and high relative humidity 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 restrict the movement of moisture vapor.
2) "Touch Points" on the fabric inner surface draw off the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric, where it spreads rapidly for evaporation.
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.
Technical Highlights:
1) Body-hugging 4-way stretch provides unrestricted freedom of movement
2) Keeps your skin dry when you sweat
3) Highly breathable to provide comfort in all activities; does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor
4) Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics
5) Wind resistant to reduce the effects of wind chill
6) Machine washable
Hardface Technology enhances the fabric's performance by:
1) Dramatically increasing abrasion and snag/pick resistance
2) Enhances durable water repellency
3) Creates a smooth surface for easy layering
4) Maintains a uniform afterwash appearance
