Warm – Dry – Cool – Safe
Advanced fabric manufacturing technology for temperature regulation.
>> Warming layer >> Polartec® Alpha® Active Insulation.
This is to provide warmth during sports activities in cold weather.
Polartec thermal fabric technologies are available in all design categories. From the original synthetic fleece jackets to the most advanced high-performance heaters, Polartec offers a wide range of fabrics that are specialized to keep you warm.
It helps regulate comfort in changing conditions.
Polartec® Alpha® was invented for US Special Forces.
They needed a superior thermal fabric for extreme temperature fluctuations. Alpha® Active Insulation provides greater breathability during activity. This air exchange technology creates lasting comfort without having to layer up or down during a mission.
ALPHA®
Features and benefits
— — Regulates heat — — Dries quickly — — Lightweight — — Enhanced breathability — — Compressible — — Highly durable
Polartec® Alpha® Active Insulation continuously releases excess body heat before it is generated, preventing sweating and discomfort.
This patented, adaptable quality is made possible by Alpha's high-density fibers bonded to a solid mesh core. And because Polartec® Alpha® is inherently hydrophobic, it resists all moisture and dries incredibly quickly.
- What does Active Insulation mean?
Active Insulation represents Polartec® Alpha®'s ability to seamlessly retain body heat during both high and low aerobic activity.
- What are its main advantages?
Clothing containing such fabric can be used in a much wider range of activities and conditions than clothing made from more traditional fabrics, such as down jackets, which are best suited for static conditions.

>> Rain protection >> NEOSHELL® — breathable + waterproof
Many fabrics can provide protection in wet weather, but almost all of them achieve this by sacrificing breathability and comfort. Common industry standards for waterproof ratings are not only mathematically confusing, but also fail to accurately reflect variations in activity and weather conditions. That’s why Polartec has developed breathable and waterproof fabric technologies that set a new precedent for how today’s protective fabrics interact with the human body and wet weather.
Stay dry – inside and out
Polartec® NeoShell® is the world's most breathable waterproof fabric technology.
For years, the outerwear industry has prioritized excessively high waterproof ratings, sacrificing the breathability needed for physical activity. Neoshell® provides the strength and durability of a fabric that protects against wet weather, while maintaining dynamic airflow and a comfortable full range of motion.
Features and benefits of NEOSHELL®
— — Breathable + Waterproof — — Comfortable + Stretchy — — Highly Durable — — Windproof — — Soft — — Lightweight

- What is breathable waterproof fabric?
Any fabric that will allow excess heat and moisture to escape without a phase change, while at the same time keeping rain out.
- What is the measurement of 10,000 mm of water column?
This is the minimum water pressure at which watertightness is maintained. Equivalent to a water pressure of >14 psi.
