POLARTEC POWER SHIELD

Polartec Power Shield fabrics are the next generation of technical outerwear, the soft shell. This clothing concept goes beyond traditional 2-layer systems—which feature fleece insulation and a waterproof/breathable shell—to a single layer that protects against all but the worst weather conditions and delivers extended breathability, abrasion resistance and stretch to enhance your outdoor adventure.

POLARTEC ALPHA

Polartec Alpha is the latest evolution of synthetic insulation offering a rare combination of lightweight warmth and true breathability in a ´puffy´ style garment.

Because Polartec Alpha insulation is highly durable and more stable than other synthetic insulation products, more open-construction woven face and back fabrics can be selected to create an air permeable package.

This small amount of airflow rapidly draws moisture away from the body and allows Polartec Alpha to be worn in a wider range of activities compared to classic ´vapor barrier´ style insulation.

POLARTEC NEOSHELL

More airflow. Better breathability.

Most hard shell fabrics allow zero airflow. Even when compared to the best waterproof/breathable fabrics, Polartec NeoShell has over 2X the airflow.

This controlled exchange of air allows the process of convection to increase the transfer of moisture vapor. You won’t notice windchill. But you will feel drier.

The standard for waterproof.

For a fabric to be considered waterproof, it must withstand the industry’s requirement in hydrostatic head tests of 10,000mm of water pressure.

Anything beyond this point is unnecessary as it won’t keep you any drier. You’re dry at 10,000mm. You won’t stay drier with a higher number. But you’ll likely be wetter from sweat.

POLYGIENE

For comfort and hygiene, Eider chose to treat its gloves with Polygiène. This treatment inhibits the growth of micro-organisms that cause odors and skin irritations. Polygiene is based on silver salt, made from recycled silver. It is applied to fabrics at the end of the production process.

Already used in medicine, this treatment is harmless to the skin and increases the lifespan of your gloves.

DURABLE WATER REPELLENT

Want to stay dry while it is raining?

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment is the first step to get high protection against rain whether your clothing has been made with a membrane or not. Thanks to this treatment, the external fabric does not become saturated with water. Therefore your clothing is very comfortable.
