Bluza Salewa Pedroc PTC Alpha W Hoody 26355

Enhanced lightweight, moisture wicking, next-to skin base layer fabrics. POLARTEC® Power Grid™fabrics are highly breathable, and make ideal base layers for all sports, either as base layers or technical mid layers.

POLARTEC® Power Grid™ fabrics are designed to keep your skin dry when you sweat. All fabrics in the series feature a bi-component knit construction that uses different yarns on either side of the fabric. This creates two different surfaces: one that is optimized to move moisture away from the skin, the other to dry quickly. Superior moisture management plus the patented Power Grid™ construction ensures that athletes get the most bang from their caloric buck. These fabrics weigh less, take up less pack space, and deliver more insulation and breathability than most fabrics in their class.

Grid construction:

The raised fabric pillars on the inside create touch points for moisture pick up off the skin. The open air channels between those pillars ensure that the fabric delivers the highest levels of breathability, compressibility, and the highest warmth per fabric weight. POLARTEC® Power Grid™ fabrics deliver performance in the cleanest way possible, by leaving out what you don’t need.

BENEFITS:

- superior wicking action

- grid channels reduce weight & increase warmth

- quick drying

- highly breathable

- lightweight

- easy-care

An adaptable temperature regulating insulation fabric. POLARTEC® Alpha® is designed primarily as a highly efficient insulation layer for use with a shell in stop-and-go activities where weight and space are limited. When worn alone, they have exceptional breathability and quick dry time, for a remarkably broad comfort range.

POLARTEC® Alpha® excels in back country pursuits like mountaineering, skiing, and ice climbing. POLARTEC® Alpha® is the latest evolution of synthetic insulation offering a rare combination of lightweight warmth and true breathability in a “puffy” style garment. Because POLARTEC® Alpha® insulation is highly durable and more stable than other synthetic insulation products, more open-construction woven face and back fabrics can be selected to create an air permeable package. This small amount of airflow rapidly draws moisture away from the body and allows

POLARTEC® Alpha® to be worn in a wider range of activities compared to classic “vapour barrier” style insulation.

 BENEFITS:

- superior breathability

- warmth without weight

- packable

- quick drying

- easy-care

- available in multiple styles and weights
