Polartec Power stretch tights

By JPDII Ranked #226 - Men's Performance Tights December 29, 2008

Polartec invented this material quite some time ago. it cam in 50/100/150 weights.
This was the gradient to measure the temp or heat retention. those grades have since gone away. But every major manufacturer from Arc'teryx to Obermeyer has a top an bottom in the "150" wight power stretch. Recently loaned out my ten year old bottoms, that were still like new and have yet to have them returned. Oh well. I have since purchased a pair of Marmot and they work everybit as well. the only difference I see between any manufacturer is stitching patterns. all same material. they are bomber for everything . I run, hike ... climb... anything in the cold. wonderful for games too. I would however recommend using a residue free washer soap. or they get much more steamy as a result of blocked evaporation pores. the new win detergent from the Olympics is working fine. NO noticeable improvement over g-wash, nik-wax or pengiun.
I have worn this suit top and bottom in northern Wisconsin in snow storms while out running on Lake superior and was plenty warm.
I hope this helps.
