Kitsbow uses Polartec Power Wool fabric in new base layer top

Published February 2, 2015

PETALUMA, Calif. (BRAIN) — Kitsbow worked with Polartec to develop its new Power Wool Long Sleeve Base Layer. The underlayer top combines the new Polartec Power Wool fabric with Kitsbow's style and fit.

"In all of our design development, we look for ways to make products and fabrics work better for mountain biking," said Charlie Cronk, Kitsbow designer and co-founder. "We were excited to work with Polartec to utilize the innovative fabric technology – the composition allows for maximum wicking, breathability, comfort, odor resistance and durability, making it a perfect addition to the Kitsbow line."

The bi-component knit construction of Polartec Power Wool uses a different yarn on either side of the fabric, creating the optimal hybrid for the athlete. Merino wool on the inside provides warmth even when wet; highly breathable, wool excels at moving moisture in a vapor state. The polyester/nylon on the outside of the fabric ensures perspiration dries quickly. The company says Polartec Power Wool can comfortably be worn in any weather.

Made in the USA from domestic materials, with greater than 50 percent recycled fiber, the Kitsbow base layer features an athletic, tailored fit. A Henley-inspired design includes a quarter-length snap closure and accented embroidery and seams. It can be worn as a base layer or alone, while mountain biking or during any athletic pursuit.

Retail price is $115 and it will be available in flash yellow or titanium colors.
