Sizing and Fabric Care

What is Polartec Powerstretch?

Polartec powerstretch is a body-hugging, 4-way stretch fabric that is very breathable.. This fabric keeps you dry when you sweat and add warms without weight. Powerstretch is one of the most versatile performance fabrics available today. The powerstretch fabric that we use features two unique features: a smooth durable outer surface that is wind resistant and a soft inner layer that pulls moisture away from your skin, which keeps you dry, comfortable, and warm. The fabric is great for a variety of outdoor activities because freedom of movement is unconstrained.

How Does it Work?

Moisture and high relative humidity next to the skin cause discomfort. Polartec powerstretch keeps the skin dry through three mechanisms:

1. The fabric is highly breathable and does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor.
2. "touch points" on the fabrics inner surface draw off the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric, where it spreads rapidly for evaporation.
3. When the sweat reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out, to many times its original surface area, enabling it to dray at least two times faster than cotton.

What is the ideal way to care for my hip huggers?

1. Wash your hip huggers inside out in cold water.
2. Do not use fabric softener.
3. Do not wash with items that might snag the fabric such as bulky zippers or exposed velcro.
4. You can either line dry your hip huggers or put them in the dryer for a few minutes. Be careful not to leave them in the dryer for extended periods of time.
