Polartec updated fabric lighter and fully recyclable
29/01/2020
The first version launched last year with brands including Houdini, Adidas and Burton. According to the company, the technology offers advanced thermal efficiency by encapsulating lofted fibres within a multilayer, continuous yarn fabric construction.
While insulation has traditionally been achieved via lofted or high-pile knit structures that hold warm air, Power Air was designed to encase air with a continuous yarn while minimising fibre shedding.
The company has said the foundational technology platform will eventually provide shedding reduction to all existing apparel categories, including insulation, lightweight next to skin and extreme weather protection.
