What is the difference between Polartec® Classic and Polartec® Thermal Pro®?Polartec® Classic fabrics are the original polyester fleece. While we have refined our manufacturing processes over the years to ensure Polartec® Classic styles are the most durable, highest quality fleece on the market, we realized we needed a new category of fabric, Polartec® Thermal Pro®, to represent dramatic break-throughs in fabric technology. Polartec® Thermal Pro® is “State of the Art” Polartec®. These insulation fabrics include new lightweight yet warm high loft designs or new aesthetic finishes like sweater-knits or even corduroy styles. We have specific thermal data on each Polartec® Thermal Pro® fabric but without knowing which Polartec® Thermal Pro® fabric you are considering, it is impossible to rate it against Polartec® Classic 200 or Polartec® Classic 300. Each Polartec® Thermal Pro® fabric is developed to meet the expected functions needed for a specific use. back to FAQ |
