From pioneering the transformation of recycled plastics to non-PFAS membranes and low-impact manufacturing processes, Polartec is proving that sustainability and high performance can coexist, as the recent expansion of the Power Shield™ family – which includes Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro and Polartec® Power Shield™ RPM – demonstrates. Made with Biolon™* nylon, Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro introduces an innovative non-PFAS membrane that sets new standards in sustainability in technical fabrics. Biolon™, a non-GMO plant-derived nylon, makes up approximately 45-48% of the nylon content of the new Power Shield™ Pro membrane, reducing the carbon footprint by 50% compared to traditional Nylon 6.6. In terms of performance, it also offers 20K/20K breathable waterproof protection (20,000 mm water resistance – ISO 811 / 20,000 g/m²/24h breathability – JIS L1099, B1). Polartec® Power Shield™ RPM is also a further step towards reducing environmental impact. This 100% recycled and recyclable polyester fabric features a highly durable non-PFAS treatment to repel moisture. Available in 3-layer and 2-layer configurations, it offers a breathability level of 30,000 g/m²/24h.
Designed for runners, cyclists, competitive athletes and golfers, Power Shield™ RPM helps solve one of the most critical problems for outdoor athletes: perspiration, reducing this risk by up to 50% compared to other Polartec membranes.
