Foxwear uses a wide variety of fabrics made by Polartec. The Polartec site has images and fabric
descriptions so check out their fabrics
page. Below is a brief description with available colors.
| PowderStretch |
|
|
|
PowderStretch is a 4 way stretchy fabric that is
mostly used for tights and t-shirts. One side is fleece
and the other side is a stretchy lycraŽ with a smooth
durable backing for better layering of clothes. The
fabric has wicking/siphoning properties for moving
moisture away from the body. It also has odor reducing
treatment to inhibit the growth of odor-causing
bacteria. Clothing made from PowerStretch is ideal when
superior abrasion resistance and maximum freedom of
movement is desired such as for
climbing/running/cycling/cross-country skiing tights and
equestrian pursuits.
There are five weights of PowerStretch: light-weight
is 1 mm thick; there's now a 1 1/2 mm thick fabric in
navy blue; mid-weight is 2 mm thick; there's a 250
weight which is 2 1/2 mm thick and comes in regular or
water-resistant fabric; and heavy-weight PowderStretch
is 3 mm thick. |

| 200-Weight Polar
Fleece with Lycra |
|
|
| This fabric exhibits the four
way stretch, wicking, and odor reducing properties of
the PowerStretch. Unlike the PowerStretch, both sides of
the 200-weight lycra are pile for additional warmth. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| PowderShield |
|
|
|
The Power Shield is a fairly new fabric known as a
soft shell. The fabric is extremely abrasion resistant
for long lasting durability with a water repellant
surface that sheds rain and snow. It blocks 98% of wind
to reduce wind chill but is breathable. The clothing
provides warmth without the weight and bulk of
traditional insulating fabrics. The shell creates less
noise than traditional fabrics and is machine washable.
Lightweight is 1 mm thick. Midweight is 2 mm thick.

| PowderDry |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
PowderDry keeps the wearer dry and comfortable due to
the next-to-the-skin construction. The soft inner layer
rapidly wicks perspiration away from the body while the
outer layer spreads moisture for maximum evaporation. It
is designed to be the first or only layer. PowderDry
fabrics are ideal for sports that create significant
body moisture due to high exertion and aerobic activity. |

| WindShield |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Windshield fabrics have a membrane or film of windblocking
material that is semi-breathable. This membrane is bonded or
laminated to the outer fleece layer to create a water
resistant shell layer. The inside of the lightweight
WindShield is a nylon mesh and the mid-weight has a thin
wicking fleece layer. The first set of colors listed are
lightweight. The second group of colors are mid-weight. |

|
| Retro-X comes both with or without a
windblocking membrane. It is the warmest fleece around and
looks like sheepskin with a heavy nylon or mesh backing. This
material is for really cold outings, but it won't smother you
once you've warmed up. |
