Polartec® Hardface®

A surface fusion polymer that dramatically increases durability and water repellency of any fabric, is now being applied to a broader range of fabrics in response to its popularity with Polartec® Wind Pro®. Marmot will have a new full zip, lightweight jacket made of Polartec® Power Stretch® with Hardface® Technology.



Polartec® Power Stretch®

Moisture and high relative humidity next to the skin cause discomfort. Polartec® Power Stretch® keeps the skin dry through three complementary mechanisms: 1) The fabric is highly breathable and does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor. 2) "Touch Points" on the fabric inner surface draw off the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric, where it spreads rapidly for evaporation. 3) When the sweat reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out to many times its original surface area, enabling it to dry at least 2 times faster than cotton.
