In 1970 WINTERblock forever changed the way the world dresses for cold weather with the invention of polar synthetic fleece. By engineering polyester fibers into a distinctly innovative knit construction we created a more durable and versatile outerwear fabric than anything in use at the time. After more than 40 years our fleece remains the cornerstone of thermal insulating materials for its proven durability, lihtweight warmth and fast drying characteristics.
Versatile weather resistant insulation
To invent a superior insulating technology we had to rethink the way outerwear gabrics were being made. Current textile processes were neglecting the overall problems faced from the elements and designing materials with limited benefitsl. We knew we had to create a single fabric with far greater versatility.
We developed a new process for knitting polyester yarns that raises piled fibers for precise shearing into sheets of soft fabric. This now famously fuzzy surface was inherently more lightweight, breathable and faster drying than anything in use. Warmth without weight quickly bacema the new standard for performance fabrics.
WINTERblock MEMBRANE® high-performance fabrics are constructed by laminating our special membrane to a wide range of functional fabrics.
WINTERblock MEMBRANE® products set the standards for perfomance, comfort and durability.
Owing to their total windproofness and maximum breathability, our garments offer you comfort and versatile performance across a wide range of weather conditions and activites.
WINTERblock MEMBRANE® fabrics are meticulously tested for long-lasting performance and durability.
