Power Wool™

THE FIRST NATURAL SYNTHETIC-HYBRID FABRIC OF ITS KIND.

Polartec® Power Wool™ is a design breakthrough for combining the distinct advantages of natural and synthetic fibers in a bi-component fabric. The industry standard of blending different yarns into a mixed composition reduces the intended benefits and hampers overall fabric performance. By isolating a merino wool interior and a synthetic fiber exterior we developed a hybrid fabric with distinct surface features to optimize wicking, breathability, odor resistance and durability.

Benefits
  • Superior wicking action
  • Fast drying
  • Highly breathable
  • Naturally odor resistant
  • Shape recovery
  • Easy care
Best Uses
  • Moisture wicking odor resistant next-to-skin base

Technology

Combining merino and synthetic fibers in our patented hybrid construction enhances the performance benefits of each fiber while resolving many flaws of traditional blends. Wool's natural odor fighting properties are given a boost, and the unpredictability of shrinking and shape loss caused from washing is prevented through the resilience of synthetics.

Wool fibers offer increased base comfort by retaining insulation and breathability even when wet. Their absorbent nature pulls moisture vapor away from your skin, transferring it to the outer synthetic layer where it expands and evaporates more quickly. This mechanical wicking action allows Polartec® Power Wool™ to keep moisture in motion at all times.

HOW IT WORKS

Merino wool is inherently resilient due to a cortex of intricate filaments that give the fiber its soft crimp. By adding resilient synthetic fibers in the bi-component construction we further enhance the overall tensile stability and resistance to abrasive surfaces.

Polartec® Power Wool™ adapts to such divergent conditions that it can excel during a wide variety of performance activities and diverse environmental conditions. This performance ability to balance both breathability and warmth provides consistent comfort at all times.sold by the yard we come in 1 piece
