'' The aim of the producers was to get the classic warmth given by the traditional stuffing, without the use of natural fibers, with benefits in terms of lightness, strength and compactibility of the head'' s wear. The yarn is in fact made from Polartec 100% synthetic fibers (thus ensuring even from possible allergies), of different weights and spinning according to'' s scope of utilizzo.I Polartec'' are in fact available in a wide range of weights to ensure an adequate level of insulation for most of the activities resort. The Polartec Classic 100 are lighter of the range and are used to make hot first layers of moderate weight. Polartec Classic 300 fabrics are the heaviest and provide a warm thermal layer for outdoor activities in cold conditions, such as winter hiking. The Polartec Â® Classic line also offers resistance and breathability, as well as fast and efficient drying.

The padding classic, made with synthetic insulation called "puffy", they need a layer "downproof" (high density) to create a barrier that prevents the passage of moisture, such a situation - albeit effective thermal point of view, it tends to trap moisture inside the body'' s. Polartec Alpha was developed to overcome these drawbacks, meeting the demands of those who want a warm fabric that actively resist the wind, with a'' high breathability, the best currently on the market with the same isolation.
