Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are the next generation of technical outwear - the soft shell. This clothing concept goes beyond traditional 2-layer systems, which feature fleece insulation and a waterproof/breathable shell, to a single layer that protects against all but the worst weather conditions and delivers extended breathability, abrasion resistance and stretch to enhance your outdoor experience. It's outerwear that gets worn, not carried.




Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics feature a smooth, tightly woven nylon face for abrasion resistance equal or superior to the best shells, but without the stiffness and noise. A polyester velour back traps air and provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio.




All Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are finished with a durable water repellent (DWR) to shed rain and snow. All versions feature spandex or mechanical stretch for freedom of movement.




Technical Highlights

  • Extremely abrasion resistant face for long lasting durability; fabric maintains its form and function regardless of abrasive contact
  • Blocks 98% of the wind to prevent wind chill,but allows enough air to circulate to keep you from overheating

  • Highly breathable; resists heat stress buildup during action sports
  • Non-restrictive fit allows full range of motion
  • Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics
  • Creates less noise than a traditional shell
  • Machine washable
