Polartec and Fox Racing present solutions for MTB clothing
Polartec announces a special collaboration with Fox Racing in a collection that perfectly embodies the payoff: Any rider. Any trail. Any mountain in any condition!
In strategic partnership with the Polartec brand and its cutting-edge technologies, Fox has created the most functional and high-performance mountain bike clothing line ever proposed. The collection, suitable in all weather conditions, and the adaptable garments allow riders to create the perfect kit. Functional products taken individually, but also can be integrated with other Fox items to solve any technical need.
The Fox Mountain Bike 2020 collection expands the collaboration with Polartec offering garments able to protect, insulate and keep dry. The result is the most complete mountain bike equipment for all weather conditions ever proposed to date. All Weather products are the pinnacle of Fox technical apparel, where the protagonist in the protection category is the Flexair NeoShell Jacket, the most advanced combination of weather resistance and breathability that can be found today in a mountain bike jacket. The jacket uses Polartec NeoShell, the most breathable and waterproof technical fabric in the world. It offers a protective fabric that is resistant and durable against weather conditions, while allowing dynamic air exchange and comfortable movement.
For cycling on cooler days, and used as a base layer is the Defend Thermo Hooded Jersey, an abrasion resistant thermal jersey designed for highly breathable insulation in contact with the skin. The secret is Polartec Power Grid, the fleece used in the US Army’s Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS), and the same fabric used as a functional tool by mountaineers. Its lightweight, warm and compressible perforated structure is designed to skillfully manage sweat and offer high breathability for maximum rider comfort. The design of the jersey is characterized by a shaped hood to stay warmer with a free fit, even under the helmet.
For activity in the coldest conditions, Fox has created the Flexair Pro Fire Alpha Jacket and the new matching Flexair Pro Fire Alpha Pant. With maximum climate management through Polartec Alpha Direct active insulation combined with four-way stretch and DWR water repellent treatment to disperse moisture, these cold weather garments are the most versatile and high-performance in the collection. Originally developed for the American Special Forces, Polartec Alpha insulation provides adaptable breathability that eliminates the need to remove or add layers on the go.
