In the outdoor industry, fleece is often marketed for its technical properties, including the ability to trap warm air, draw away cold air, and provide breathability. However, it is important to note that some of these claims are exaggerated or misleading in practice. Polartec® Alpha has truly unrivaled functionality as a stand-alone fleece. Its unique characteristics of an open knit lattice with lofted fibers delivers an unparalleled warmth-to-weight ratio while keeping bulk and weight to an absolute minimum. The open knit lattice provides the freedom to move effortlessly and unrestricted, and allows for effective heat/moisture transfer. Polartec Alpha truly sets the new standard for an active insulation fleece midlayer. FABRIC DURABILITY Since 2019, SENCHI Design fleeces have undergone extensive testing over thousands of miles on the trail, with hikers speaking highly of their performance and durability. The collective experience and positive feedback should offer insight into the minimal drawbacks of its ultralight construction. As with any outdoor apparel, it's important to consider the pros and cons when choosing the right gear. By understanding fabric characteristics, users can maximize the benefits while taking appropriate measures to ensure its longevity and performance. WASH/CARE To extend the lifetime of your garment, always store and wash inside the included SENCHI BAG. Machine wash cold, delicate cycle, tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Do not bleach, dry-clean, iron, use fabric softener, or machine-wash with agitator (unless stored in Senchi Bag). The Senchi Bag is also designed to mitigate the release of clothing fibers into the water column. While it is not a comprehensive solution to the problem of microplastics, it serves as a proactive measure to minimize impact.
