Insulation

Anyone who spends time in the outdoors knows that your comfort and sometimes even your survival can depend on staying warm. As the inventors of fleece, Polartec® revolutionized the market for thermal insulation clothing and accessories. While our original Polartec® Classic® fleece products are still widely used for everything from Himalayan expeditions to back-to-school jackets, over the years we have developed dozens of insulation fabrics with a variety weights, finishes and looks.

All insulation fabrics operate by trapping warm air pockets and holding them next to your body. The more loft a fabric possesses, the more air it will trap. The key to creating warm fabrics that are light yet durable is the finishing process, and in this category, Polartec® has the most sophisticated manufacturing facilities on earth. Fabrics that pill not only look worse for wear, they also deteriorate the performance and insulation capacity.

Polartec® Classic® and Polartec® Thermal Pro® stand for warmth without weight, durability and lasting value for performance and aesthetics. Polartec® Classic fabrics are the modern day versions of the original fleece we invented over 30 years ago. Polartec® Thermal Pro® fabrics provide a wide range of styles for visual differentiation and technical performance.
