Body-Mapped Hybrid Fleece Technology
The Pursuit Hybrid Fleece is constructed of hybrid fleece fabrics that are configured in a body-mapped position to maximize warmth, breathability, & versatility.
The high-pile PrimaLoft® Evolve fleece is extra warm, especially when paired with our 30D stretch-woven Nylon. This Nylon is used as a face fabric, and this combo is designed to cover core areas of your torso to maintain comfortable body temperatures in harsh conditions.
To balance warm with breathability, we've used a high stretch grid fleece with a smooth outer face in areas like your arms, underarms, & lower torso. This grid fleece stretches more than the high-pile fleece and allows for more ventilation. It's an ideal fabric for dumping excess heat when necessary.
After 2+ years of testing, we've locked in the optimal arrangement for these 2 fleece fabrics to work side by side in keeping you completely comfortable during high exertion activities in cold conditions.
