Superior Technical & Performance Fabrics For Outdoor and Activewear
Polartec PowerShield Pro was designed to enhance the strength and performance abilities of Polartec's original soft shell technology (power Shield) even further. By re-engineering the 3-layer fabric, they developed an even stronger balance between warmth and breathability while drastically increasing the inherent ability to repel water, wind and snow. Add to this a microporous membrane that easily vents excess heat and moisture vapour and you have an incredibly functional soft shell.
The Polartec Wind bloc ( block ) styles featured on this page are extremely similar to Power Shield Pro. They are classified by Polartec as "weather protection" and feature a woven polyester face fabric with a DWR treatment, a microporous breathable membrane and a micro velour fleece grid back. Because of these similarities, they are listed together on this page. If you are looking for a midweight softshell fabric any of the styles on this page are suitable. For complete details on these fabrics, scroll down to the tabs located below the colour swatches. Power Shield Pro Midweight is one 'step' warmer than Power Shield Pro Lightweight. The backside of these styles feature either a micro-velour grid, a low pile velour (maroon/black back only) or power dry (black 6672, dark red/navy back 6672, porpoise 6672). This weight makes an ideal spring or fall jacket in our Canadian West Coast climate.
Blue Glass Seconds: Our new roll can delaminate if one actively tries to pull the layers apart or if it is put in a hot dryer. We recommend sewing first and washing once the garment is complete. Hang to dry.
Amphibian Seconds: Face of the fabric is highly irregular in appearance in places (see photo)
Lime Green colourway: There are small spots throughout the roll.
Pear Power Shield Pro 9696 - the black grid backing shows through to the face creating a dark shading effect as shown in the colour image.
