Polartec Neoshell® with Stretch/Ease
Polartec NeoShell revolutionized 'waterproof'/breathable fabrics by creating a fabric that allows for the continuous release of heat and moisture vapor. The constant air exchange between the inside and outside of the garment keeps the wearer more comfortable while being protected from the elements. Unlike other waterproof/breathables, NeoShell does not require a build up of pressure inside the garment before the moisture vapour moves across the polyurethane membrane. More info below the colour swatches.
NeoShell is available in dozens of different styles. We are currently carrying over 20! To make your search easier, we have categorized our selection into two main groups: NeoShell no stretch and NeoShell with stretch.
This page features our styles that have some stretch/ease. These styles are traditional shell fabrics and can be used on their own to create an outer layer shell jacket or pant or it can be lined with Alpha or Alpha Direct insulation or PrimaLoft Gold or Silver insulation. The styles with stretch have more options for the back of the fabric and range from nylon tricot to power wool to micro-fleece velour.
For more information on each style, look for details in the tabs below as well as the At a Glance table that can be found by clicking below. If you are looking for the Neoshell Grey Tricot Pocketing (meant to be used for your pockets in a Neoshell garment), style 66007, it lives on the Neoshell No Stretch page.
Shedding entire layers or relying on pit-zips to dump heat often leads to overexposure that can be avoided altogether through enhanced breathability. This allows Polartec NeoShell to excel in both inclement weather and calmer conditions. All Polartec® fabrics are certified Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX®
