Polartec goes green
Published:  24 October, 2006

The advances in yarn technology have resulted in recycled and renewable Polartec fabrics being used in a variety of ‘green’ garment collections this autumn.

A forerunner being Patagonia with its Capilene 4 long underwear program; the expedition weight underwear is made of a new recycled Polartec Power Dry which will be made of at least 50% recycled polyester fibre and will be 100% recyclable through Patagonia’s Eco-Circle program that can turn old polyester garments back into yarn. This is the first time recycled fibres have reached a fine enough denier to enable production of soft, comfortable next-to-skin fabrics. And, like all Polartec Power Dry garments, the Capilene 4 will wick and dry quickly, the key to staying warm in any situation.
