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.
