Polartec® Classic
Polartec® Classic fabrics set the bar for lightweight warmth and breathability. On the market and used by outdoor professionals for nearly three decades, this original fleece offers unparalleled quality and durability.
The 100% polyester velour construction creates air pockets that trap air and retain body heat. Unlike less expensive fleece fabrics, Polartec® Classic products maintain their insulating ability and non-pilling appearance after repeated laundering.
These fabrics are available in a range of weights to provide the right level of insulation for most outdoor activities. Polartec® Classic 100 weight fabrics are the lightest and are excellent for a warm first layer or lightweight sweater. Polartec® Classic 300 fabrics are the heaviest and provide a warm thermal layer for very cold outdoor activities. Halfway in between are Polartec® Classic 200 weight fabrics, providing outstanding warmth and versatility.
Polartec® Classic line includes over 90 styles of fabrics available in hundreds of colors, patterns, and prints. Many styles are also available with a water repellent surface that sheds rain and snow. The Polartec® Classic line provides not only outstanding warmth without weight, but are breathable and durable, dry quickly, and are great styling options for virtually every end use.
Technical Highlights:
1) Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics
2) Highly breathable to provide comfort in all activities; does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor
3) For water repellent styles, surface sheds rain and snow
4) Dries quickly to minimize heat loss
5) Durable. Will outlast other fleece fabrics
6) Machine washable
7) Versatile; appropriate for a broad range of activities
8) Light, mid and heavy weight constructions provide choice of insulation level

I'd like to know if this fleece is compatible with the Tamarack Jacket through the Zippin feature? Many thanks
on 3/23/10.
This jacket would make a great layer under the Tamarack jacket but it is not a Zippin compatible style. The insulated Cauldron Jacket or Vest are compatible with this years Tamarack jacket.
on 4/22/10.
Does the Reactor full zip jacket have elastisized or adjustible cuffs and an adjustible elastisized hem?
on 9/28/10.
Is this reactor jacket compatible with the Palisade Jacket through the Zippin feature?
Thanks
on 11/22/10.
Any plans to re-introduce the in-pocket adjustable waist cord in 2011? The older version of this fleece had it but the newer ones do not.
