*The Biolon™ nylon plant-based content within Power Shield™ Pro reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers carbon footprint by up to 50% compared with virgin Nylon-6,6.-** Biolon™ is a trademark of Milliken & Company.-■20k mm water resistance (ISO 811)/20k g/m²/24hrs breathability (JIS L1099, B1).-▲Biolon™ plant-based inputs account for about 45-48% of the nylon in our fabrics and membranes, which lowers carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels by 50%, without impacting on human food sources.
Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro is a high-performance, waterproof and breathable non-PFAS membrane made with plant-based Biolon™ nylon. Because Biolon™ plant-based inputs account for about 45-48% of the softshell nylon used, Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro offers advanced weather protection while reducing the carbon footprint by up to 50%, compared to virgin Nylon-6,6, without impacting human food sources.* Biolon™ is a trademark of Milliken & Company.
Award-winning Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro is both waterproof and breathable! It provides 20/20 breathable waterproof protection (20k mm water resistance (ISO 811) / 20k g/m2/24hrs breathability (JIS L1099, B1), ensuring that rain and snow stay out, and that moisture vapor escapes to prevent overheating.
Unlike stiff, non-breathable hardshell fabrics, Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro is soft and comfortable while providing plenty of stretch, making it an excellent softshell alternative for active use in wet and windy conditions.
Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro (made with Biolon™* nylon) is a non-PFAS membrane that sets a new standard in sustainability for performance fabrics. As a renewable, non-GMO plant-based nylon, the Biolon™ plant-based inputs account for approximately half (45-48%) of the nylon content and thus delivers a 50% lower carbon footprint than virgin Nylon 6,6, the gold standard against which other nylons are measured.
Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro is free from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), offering a safer, more responsible answer to weather protection. Furthermore, the non-PFAS DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the Power Shield™ Pro membrane keeps you dry and comfortable without sacrificing resiliency or high stretch performance. By the end of 2022, well before any mandates, Polartec had removed all PFAS-containing materials across our entire product line, ensuring that all our products are now entirely non-PFAS.
At Polartec, we believe there is no need to trade sustainability for performance and durability. Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro is designed to withstand extreme environments, resisting abrasion, tearing, and prolonged exposure to the elements.
Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro features a monolithic membrane construction that allows it to block wind effectively, thus making it ideal for harsh outdoor conditions.
