Our heavyweight Chill Factor II Tights are ideal
for: -10 to 40 Degree Our warmest tight packs up to 90% more fiber than most tights to block most of the
wind and move all the moisture away from your skin, keeping you warm and
dry.
- Anti-microbial Chill Factor 100% Polypro colored inserts.
- Body of tight is made of Fifteen ounce Chill Factor II with
'wind-lock weave' to virtually eradicate wind-chill.
- Embroidered logo
- Odor resistant
- Interior of tight is fleeced for added moisture management and comfort.
Chill Factor II fabric is a brushed spun polyester micro-fiber. It is extremely stretchy and comfortable, quick-drying, moves moisture rapidly away from the wearer's skin, and is also abrasion-resistant. It's knitting process makes it extremely durable as well as highly impervious to wind and wear. Chill Factor II fabric is easily identifiable as the black portions of all our Chill Factor II gear, while Chill Factor polypro is used in the
colored sections.
Polypropylene is the lightest fiber made by
man. Combine this with it's thermal power and you have a thermal garment
that punches well above it's weight. It's also highly compactable so you
can easily take it anywhere, prepared for whatever the elements throw at
you.
It doesn't matter if you get wet
in polypropylene because it dries so fast. You can wash it in cold or warm
water and it will be dry within hours.
Due to its low thermal conductivity,
Polypro possesses a high insulating power. Polypro enables the air to become
trapped in its tiny apertures, creating the most efficient thermal
insulation of any fabric in the marketplace today.
The thermal protection is due to its light
and voluminous structures. Coupled with this, moisture vapor permeability
has proven that movements of heat and moisture through our most fabric is a
major factor in determining its comfort. The moisture regain of Polypro is
virtually nil. Polypro is the most effective fabric for energetic activists.
This fiber can not and will not absorb
water. If water vapor cannot escape sufficiently and quickly through
clothing, the relative humidity at skin level increases and condensation can
occur - causing chills, discomfort, and possible harmful effects. With
Polypro this cannot happen. A comfortable balance of heat and relative
humidity is maintained, and the fabric directly in contact with the skin is
kept dry at all times.
A most important quality of Polypro is its
high resistance to abrasion which is similar to that of nylon and far higher
than that of wool or acrylic. When wet, it maintains its low abrasion level.
The wearer has a comfortable and easy care fabric that remains soft
regardless of the fabric's activity.
