Both driven by a passion for providing best-in-class gear built for purpose, Jöttnar has partnered with Polartec® since inception.
Continually working to develop the most advanced and technically-rich garments available, tailored to perform season after season, in the most demanding conditions.
Both have tested gear to destruction and know what works.
With this synergy Jöttnar has crafted industry-leading pieces with superb wind protection yet superior breathability; gear with 'active' air-exchange insulation for temperature control to limit layer-change requirements; gear with the most advanced 4-way stretch and recovery properties.
See that gear below.
An active insulation developed for US Special Forces as their go-to air-exchange insulation system, for temperature control in stop-start conditions.
The most advanced elastic all-direction stretch fabric of Polartec’s performance-fit range, with superior regain and recovery properties.
Gives up to 4x more wind resistance than regular synthetic fleece, but with the extra bonus of air permeability and breathability.
Developed for Special Forces, Polartec® Alpha® is a patented active air-exchange insulation system for temperature variations and stop-start conditions.

Delivering consistent warmth and breathability, it releases excess body heat before saturation and discomfort, reducing the frequency of layer changes.
The patented adaptability of Alpha® stems from lofted fibres connected to a solid mesh core.
With Polartec® Alpha® being intrinsically hydrophobic, it resists moisture and exhibits rapid drying properties.
Perfect for year-round stop-start activities where your body temperature continually fluctuates and you don't want to constantly layer clothing up or down. Put it on, leave it on.
The most advanced elastic all-direction stretch fabric of Polartec’s performance-fit range, with exceptional rebound to regain original shape and provide longevity.

It's dual-surface knit construction delivers tensile strength and abrasion resistance allowing a tougher, longer lasting garment. By continuously transferring moisture vapour to the outer layer for fast evaporation, it also makes it highly versatile for varying activity.
Using a combination of high stretch yarns, such as Spandex, and specialised constructions assures that the fabric does not suffer from 'bag-out’, where it is overstretched to the point that it will not recover. Commonly found around the knees and elbow areas.
Wear as a warm mid-layer under a hard or soft shell for every season and activity.
Use as a tough, abrasion-resistant outer layer over a base layer for milder conditions.
Never lose form or support due to all-direction fabric stretch and rebound in line with the body’s push and pull demands.
Advanced fleece engineered with a strong compact knit that removes the common requirement of a film or need to laminate multiple fabrics.

Giving up to 4x more wind resistance than regular synthetic fleece and now also air permeability.
It’s Durable Water Repellent (DWR) exterior fends off moisture and light rain without compromising breathability or comfort.
Yarn selection, knitting method, and specialised finishing collectively enhance Wind Pro® products' remarkable wind resistance. In contrast to many outerwear materials, Wind Pro® achieves this wind protection without a film or laminating multiple fabrics, guaranteeing unhindered breathability for optimal comfort.
Wear from the peak to the valley when better wind protection is needed without compromising on either breathability or water-repellency.
Particularly effective when static warmth is needed.
A patented polymer surface treatment fused at the fibre level to increase abrasion and snag resistance, as well as water repellency, without affecting fabric breathability.
Applied to our Polartec® Wind Pro® garments to increase longevity in rucksack strap and high-rub areas, for example.
This prolongs the life, quality and look of the garment.
Look for Hardface® when enhanced abrasion-resistance and snag-resistance is required on your garment.
