What is Polartec Power Air?

It is a dual-surface knit that encapsulates air for warmth while staying breathable. It is designed to shed fewer microfibers than traditional fleece.

Is it warm enough on its own?

It is a mid-layer, so it handles cool conditions well but is not a heavy winter outer layer. In deep cold, wear it under a shell or insulated jacket.

How does the fit run?

The cut is athletic and close to the body. If you plan to layer it over thick base layers, consider sizing up.

Does it work under a plate carrier or backpack?

Yes. The smooth exterior reduces friction and pilling under straps and carriers, and the low-bulk underarm gusset keeps movement free.

What pockets does it have?

It has zippered hand and chest pockets plus hidden interior dump pockets, all with YKK self-locking zippers.
