Heavyweight Power Dry is the warmest of Polartec's Power Dry family of fabrics. It's very soft with a smooth face and a micro velour fleece back. It's comfortable when worn next to skin and is an ideal warm base-layer fabric for those who can't tolerate wool. It's the perfect weight when you need a light layer over a t-shirt in the spring or when you want a base layer that's warm, but not too bulky.
Why Polartec Power Dry is Unique
Polartec PowerDry was created to give base fabrics greater efficiency, more dependable wicking properties, faster dry times and better overall performance. Not all base fabrics are created equal and many can only provide temporary wicking chemistry that fades and weakens with every wash. By designing mechanical wicking fabric with patented bi-component construction, Polartec® created a superior base material that pulls moisture from the skin, expands for faster evaporation and lasts the life of the fabric. Moving moisture away from the skin and allowing continuous evaporation prevents your base layer from becoming saturated and helps to regulate your temperature in hot and cold conditions.
NOTE: The printing process flattens the fleece slightly, therefore the prints are not quite as fuzzy on the back as the solid colours. The back side of each print fabric is white.
