Innovative layering starts with Futurefleece.

Revolutionary lightweight heat-trapping technology.

FUTUREFLEECE™

About the technology


Futurefleece is an innovative technology that uses a full-loop fabric to minimise weight and help regulate body temperature.

Made with octagonal-shaped yarn construction, Futurefleece offers an improved warmth-to-weight ratio. The grid fabrication of the fleece traps additional warmth within the hollow cross sections, and the full-loop construction delivers a soft, comfortable feel when worn next to skin.

The exceptionally lightweight layer offers warmth, breathability and soft comfort for hours of wear in some of the world’s harshest environments.
