Malden Mills Polartec® Alpha® Direct 90 Insulation Fabric

Polartec Alpha is a new kind of insulation material, especially well suited for active use. Better breathability than with quality fleece, and a way better than with any regular padded garment.

Combine with lightweight windshell fabric, and you will get a very lightweight, warm garment that keeps you warm without condensation problems. Lining fabric is not required. Comfortable also to be used directly against the skin without additional fabrics.

This 4004 style has thinner/smoother surface one side and a higher knap on the other.
