POLARTEC DELTA
Polartec is a leader in the production of innovative textile solutions. Since the invention of the modern synthetic fleece, the Polartec R&D team has never stopped developing high-performance technologies capable of improving the way products are created and manufactured. As an ingredient brand, it offers real innovation and versatility through a range of fabrics ranging from skin contact, to insulation, to protection from the elements. Polartec technologies are now used by leading brands in the sports, military and professional sectors and are synonymous with uncompromising performance.
Polartec also comes to our help when temperatures get warmer. In these periods, outdoor enthusiasts tend to opt for polyester or cotton fabrics looking for greater breathability and to facilitate sweating of the skin. However, all this has a negative side: cotton ends up getting wet and heavy while polyester dries too quickly if used in extreme heat causing overheating. Polartec Delta instead Long-sleeved base layer that acts as an optimal intermediate layer during all outdoor activities. Made of lightweight Polartec Delta fabric that helps the body's natural cooling process. The knit construction offers high stretch and increased airflow, helping to dissipate heat and disperse moisture for better odor control. It is a bluesign certified product.
is positioned halfway between cotton and polyester, thanks to its composition made of a mix of natural fibers (Tencel) and polyester and to its structure that acts as a cooling system, managing sweat, prolonging natural cooling of the skin and allowing the fabric to dry quickly.
Polartec Delta boasts an innovative composition that regulates drying times and guarantees better breathability when wet. In fact, its special knitting uses both hydrophobic and hydrophilic yarns for more advanced control of moisture dispersion. These knitted-woven radiant structures keep cooler at high temperatures by increasing the flow of air for heat dissipation.
Delta therefore guarantees technical fabrics to make the most of the body's natural cooling system. The fabrics in contact with the skin, with breathable and quick-drying capabilities, eliminate moisture but do not contribute to body cooling. Delta, on the other hand, works more efficiently by increasing the contact points for better air flow, faster dispersion of moisture and a reduction in the effect of adhesion to the skin of wet fabrics. The result is a cool-to-the-touch and extremely breathable fabric with exceptional drainage and odor control capabilities.

POLARTEC POWER DRY
Polartec Power Dry is the most advanced fabric in terms of moisture management in contact with the skin. It is made thanks to a knitting process according to a patented process and uses two different constructions for the two surfaces of the fabric (internal and external) so that each fiber guarantees maximum efficiency.
In this way you get two different surfaces: one optimized to quickly remove sweat from the skin, the other to transfer moisture to the external surface which is much wider than the original one, ensuring faster evaporation during sport activities. This allows fabrics to dry quickly while continuous evaporation prevents saturation and regulates temperature in both hot and cold conditions. This technical t-shirt designed for mountaineering and summer hiking is made of Polartec Power Dry. Its specific and innovative structure absorbs body moisture and spreads it on the external surface ensuring fast evaporation. This guarantees great thermal comfort, it also features an anti-odor stretch fabric in 100% recycled polyester and a unique construction on the shoulders that prevents rubbing of the backpack.
Polartec Power Dry is in fact designed to guarantee superior mechanical drainage and to keep the skin dry when you sweat. The result is highly breathable fabrics that represent the ideal solution as a base layer, both as underwear and as a first technical layer during all outdoor activities. The polypropylene yarn on the inner surface makes the body moisture management process even more efficient. Using the specific properties of polypropylene, which has extremely low moisture retention, Polartec Power Dry fabrics therefore offer a drier and warmer base layer, removing at least 30% more sweat than any other product. These are fabrics designed to keep the body dry during physical activity and are therefore ideal for runners, skiers, and travelers.
