Mountain Equipment’s Powerstretch Balaclava is designed for sub-zero conditions, from winter hikes to icy ascents. Close-fitting and with a four-panel ergonomic design, it is easy to layer under a hood or helmet. The flatlock seams ensure next-to-skin comfort and eliminate chances of rubbing. Polartec Power Stretch fleece is warm, soft, and quick drying, and the Schoeller Dry Skin Extreme ear guards provide extra warmth where you need it most.

The FWF Code of Labour Practices contains eight elements, which are based on United Nations and International Labour Organization principles:
Employment is freely chosen
There is no discrimination in employment
No exploitation of child labour
Freedom of association & the right to collective bargaining
Payment of a living wage
No excessive working hours
Safe & healthy working conditions
Legally-binding employment relationship
FWF regularly verifies the implementation of these labour practices through factory audits and worker interviews both onsite and offsite, and through annual ‘Brand Performance Checks’ which assess how well each member’s management policies support the Code of Labour Practices. FWF publicly reports on the progress of member companies towards implementation of the Code elements.
Power Shield Polartec Power Shield fabrics are the next generation of technical outerwear, the soft shell. This clothing concept goes beyond traditional 2-layer systems - which feature fleece insulation and a waterproof/breathable shell - to a single layer that protects against all but the worst weather conditions and delivers extended breathability, abrasion resistance and stretch to enhance your outdoor adventure.
Power Shield Pro Polartec Power Shield Pro combines never before seen levels of air permeability with durable hydrostatic resistance to keep you dry both from within and from out.
Windbloc Polartec Windbloc fabrics block 100% of the wind and offer maximum protection from the cold and the elements. The soft hand, stretch, and Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish combine to make this the highest quality, most comfortable windproof fleece product on the market.
Power Stretch Polartec Power Stretch fabrics feature body-hugging 4-way stretch and are very breathable. They keep you dry when you sweat and provide warmth without weight.
Classic Polartec Classic fabrics are the reference standard for lightweight warmth and breathability. This is the original fleece offering unparalleled quality and durability. Polartec Classic fabrics have been the primary insulation layer of choice among experienced outdoor enthusiasts for nearly three decades.
Thermal Pro Polartec Thermal Pro gear is the most visually dynamic and technically advanced of the Polartec insulation fabrics. Available in a variety of unique surface textures and patterns - many of which are designed to enhance performance - Polartec Thermal Pro materials are great styling options for virtually every end use.
Power Dry Polartec Power Dry fabrics are designed to keep your skin dry when you sweat. Ideal for runners, skiers, and adventure travellers, all fabrics in this series feature a patented bi-component knit construction that uses different yarns on either side of the fabric. This creates two different surfaces: one that is optimized to move moisture away from the skin, the other to dry quickly.
