Polartec has announced the launch of Polartec Power Fill, a new fill insulation technology made with 80 percent post-consumer recycled content. The technology is said to provide greater warmth retention in colder conditions without added weight. The new fill consists of a soft and pliable matrix of spun polyester yarns engineered with a proprietary hollow fiber construction, which forms thousands of air pockets capturing and containing body heat while maintaining a thermal layer between the colder air on the outside and the warmer temperatures on the inside. The polyester's hydrophobic properties work to ensure that the fill resists moisture absorption and dries quickly. The Polartec Power will first become available to consumers in autumn 2017 products from Triple Aught Design.
