The early introduction of fleece can be traced back to Malden Mills, when the textile manufacturer and Patagonia started their collaboration to launch Synchilla, a synthetic material able to emulate the chinchilla feeling and wool properties with no animal harm. With the introduction of Polartec, the aim was to upgrade the utilization of pile in the outdoors, developing a thermo-insulating fabric that was quick-drying and breathable, preventing overheating while pulling sweat away from the body and allowing it to evaporate more quickly. While sherpa jackets reproduce the traditional Nepalese adventurers’ wool jacket, Polartec introduces some technical advancements compared to wool: it’s lightweight, enhancing comfort and performance during strenuous activities, ensuring insulation and keeping you warm. Polartec is renowned among techwear enthusiasts not only for its performance-driven features but also for its commitment towards sustainable production: being fleece originated from plastic materials, Polartec constantly renews its productive system, recurring to recycled, regenerated, and fair-sourced materials. Polartec is also adopted by the U.S. Special Forces, responsible for developing Polartec Alpha, engineered for extreme temperature variations without shedding layers, maximizing the signature features to a waterproof level, also applied to lifestyle and common-use items.
