Polartec Alpha Direct is a high-performance fabric made from 100% recycled polyester, designed to provide excellent insulation while allowing moisture to escape. This means you stay warm without overheating, making it perfect for active wear in cold conditions. If you enjoy outdoor activities like cycling or hiking, this fabric will keep you comfortable and dry.

Insulation weight refers to the thickness and warmth of the insulation material in clothing. Midweight insulation strikes a balance between warmth and bulk, making it versatile for various temperatures. It’s ideal for those who want to stay warm without feeling weighed down, allowing for greater freedom of movement during activities.

Form-fitting clothing is designed to closely follow the shape of your body, reducing excess fabric that can cause drag or discomfort while cycling. This snug fit enhances your aerodynamics and allows for better performance, making your rides more enjoyable and efficient.

Reflective elements are features in clothing that reflect light, increasing your visibility in low-light conditions. This is crucial for cyclists who ride during dawn, dusk, or at night, as it helps ensure that drivers and other road users can see you, significantly enhancing your safety on the road.

An extended rear hem is a design feature where the back of the garment is longer than the front. This is particularly beneficial for cyclists, as it keeps your lower back covered while in a riding position, preventing exposure to cold air and ensuring comfort during movement. It helps you maintain focus on your ride without worrying about adjusting your clothing.

Polartec Alpha Direct is made from 100% recycled polyester, which means it helps reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with new fabric production. By choosing products made with this material, you’re not only getting high-performance clothing but also supporting eco-friendly practices that contribute to a healthier planet.
