Polartec® Fleece
The primary insulation layer among experienced outdoor enthusiasts for nearly two decades, Polartec® fabrics are available in a variety of unique textures and weights designed specifically to enhance performance in a variety of environs.
Polartec® Classic 100, 200 and 300: Available in a lightweight, midweight, and heavyweight fleece, each of these Polartec® Classic series fabrics provide warmth, comfort and breathability. Polartec® 100 weight fabrics are the lightest fleece in the series, and are an excellent choice for a warm first layer. Polartec® 200 provides optimal warmth and versatility in a midweight, soft fleece. Polartec® 300 fabrics are the heaviest option, providing a thermal layer to wear on very cold excursions.
Polartec® Power Stretch®: Ideal for aerobic activities, the durable nylon layer of this fabric is both wind and abrasion resistant, keeping you dry, warm, and comfortable in difficult outdoor conditions. Extremely breathable and quick drying, this body-hugging, four-way stretch fabric keeps your skin dry through three complementary mechanisms: (1) The fabric is highly breathable and does not restrict moisture vapor from escaping, (2) “Touch Points” on the fabric’s inner surface wick the moisture off your skin, moving it to the outside where it can evaporate, and (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 two times faster than cotton.

Pictured above is the Waterproof Breathable Jacket. Jackets are shorter than coats. New for 2009, The North Face is using recycled material to make the Denali Jackets. It is so great how The North Face is going green with the eco-friendly recycled Polartec 300 series fleece. This Fleece is actually made from both post industrial waste and post consumer waste. This contribution to the cleanliness of our planet will help save valuable resources as well as stopping materials from overflowing landfills. The Denali has always been a North Face favorite and best seller, and now it’s even better by going green!
